Proverbs 25:21 in context
- 19Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble
is like a bad tooth or a lame foot. - 20As one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
or vinegar on soda,
so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. - 21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.
If he is thirsty, give him water to drink; - 22for you will heap coals of fire on his head,
and Yahweh will reward you. - 23The north wind produces rain;
so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
