Selah · Bible verse
Proverbs 25:21
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:
In context
19Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot.
20As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:
22for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you.
23The north wind produces rain: so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
