In context
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.
22 For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
23 As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
