Proverbs 25:20-26 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

20. And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.

21. If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:

22. For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.

23. The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue.

24. It is better to sit m a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.

25. As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good tidings from a far country.

26. A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.
