Proverbs 25:18-28 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

18. A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, is a man that beareth false witness against his neighbour.

19. A broken tooth, and a tottering foot, is confidence in an unfaithful man in the day of trouble.

20. As he that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a sad heart.

21. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22. for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah shall reward thee.

23. The north wind bringeth forth rain, and the angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

24. It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common.

25. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26. A troubled fountain, and a defiled well, is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.

27. It is not good to eat much honey; and to search into weighty matters is itself a weight.

28. He that hath no rule over his own spirit is as a city broken down, without walls.
