16 Honey thou hast found--eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated with it, and hast vomited it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated with thee, and have hated thee.
18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, Is the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
19 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, Is the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
20 Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, Is as vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.
21 If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water.
22 For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.
