Proverbs 25:21 Proverbs 25:22 (KJV) Proverbs 25:23
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
The north wind driveth away rain: so [doth] an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
