20. As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:
22. for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you.
23. The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman.
25. Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26. Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
