Proverbs 25:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ You may sing songs to a troubled heart.
    But that’s like taking a coat away on a cold day.
    It’s like pouring vinegar on a wound.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.
    If he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
²² By doing these things, you will pile up burning coals on his head.
    And the Lord will reward you.
