Proverbs 25:16-24 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

16. When you find honey, eat just enough, lest you are stuffed and vomit it.

17. Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he become weary of you and loathe you.

18. Like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow is one who bears false witness against his neighbor.

19. Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is confidence in the unfaithful in time of trouble.

20. Like taking off a garment on a cold day or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21. If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,

22. for you will heap coals of fire on his head and Adonai will reward you.

23. A north wind brings rain, and a backbiting tongue angry faces.

24. Better to dwell in a corner of a roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
