Proverbs 25:20-22
Contemporary English Version
Proverbs 25:20-22
Contemporary English Version
20 Singing to someone
in deep sorrow
is like pouring vinegar
in an open cut.[a]
21 (A) If your enemies are hungry,
give them something to eat.
And if they are thirsty,
give them something
to drink.
22 This will be the same
as piling burning coals
on their heads.
And the Lord
will reward you.
