Proverbs 25:18-28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. Like a club and sword and a sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.

19. A bad tooth and a lame foot is the trust of a faithless person in a time of trouble.

20. Like one who removes a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on natron, is he who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21. If your enemy is hungry, feed him bread, and if thirsty, let him drink water.

22. For coals of fire you will heap upon his head, and Yahweh will reward you.

23. The wind of the north produces rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry faces.

24. Better to live upon the corner of a roof than with a woman of contention and in a shared house.

25. Like cold water upon a weary soul, so too is good news from a distant place.

26. Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is the righteous who gives way before the wicked.

27. To eat much honey is not good, nor is seeking one’s honor honorable.

28. A breached city where there is no wall is like a man who has no self-control for his spirit.
