Proverbs 25:19-28 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

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.

25. Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.

26. Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous person who yields before the wicked.

27. It is not good to eat too much honey, or honorable to seek one’s own honor.

28. Like a city whose walls are broken down is one with no control over his temper.
