Proverbs 25

¹⁷ Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he grow weary and hate you.

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

¹⁹ Like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.

²⁰ Like one who removes a garment on a cold day or vinegar poured on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

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