Proverbs 25:21–23

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;

if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,

and the Lord will reward you.

23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain

is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat,

and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,

22 for you will heap burning coals on his head,

and the Lord will reward you.

23 The north wind brings forth rain,

and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat;

And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head,

And the Lord shall reward thee.

23 The north wind driveth away rain:

So doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

21 If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.

If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.

22 You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads,

and the Lord will reward you.

23 As surely as a north wind brings rain,

so a gossiping tongue causes anger!

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;

And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,

And the Lord will reward you.

23 The north wind brings forth rain,

And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

21 If your enemy is hungry, feed him.

If he is thirsty, give him a drink.

22 Doing this will be like pouring burning coals on his head,

and the Lord will reward you.

23 As the north wind brings rain,

telling gossip brings angry looks.

21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat;

And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22 For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head,

And Jehovah will reward thee.

23 The north wind bringeth forth rain:

So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah shall reward thee.

23 The north wind bringeth forth rain, and the angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him some food to eat, 

and if he is thirsty, give him some water to drink. 

22 ⸤In this way⸥ you will make him feel guilty and ashamed, 

and the Lord will reward you. 

23 ⸤As⸥ the north wind brings rain, 

so a whispering tongue brings angry looks. 

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat,

and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22 for you will heap burning coals on his head,

and the Lord will reward you.

23 The north wind produces rain,

and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

21 If your enemies are hungry, give them bread to eat,

and if they are thirsty, give them water to drink,

22 for you will heap coals of fire on their heads,

and the Lord will reward you.

23 The north wind produces rain,

and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

21 If your enemy is hungry, feed him bread,

and if thirsty, let him drink water.

22 For coals of fire you will heap upon his head,

and Yahweh will reward you.

23 The wind of the north produces rain,

and a backbiting tongue, angry faces.

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.

If he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

22 By doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on his head.

And the Lord will reward you.

23 The north wind brings rain.

And a crafty tongue brings angry looks.
