Proverbs 25:19-22

The Message

¹⁹ Trusting a double-crosser when you’re in trouble
    is like biting down on an abscessed tooth.

²⁰ Singing light songs to the heavyhearted
    is like pouring salt in their wounds.

^21-22 If you see your enemy hungry, go buy him lunch;
    if he’s thirsty, bring him a drink.
Your generosity will surprise him with goodness,
    and God will look after you.
