20 Singing songs to ·someone who is sad [L a troubled heart]
    is like taking away his coat on a cold day
or pouring vinegar on soda [C sodium bicarbonate; mixing the two would cause an adverse reaction; the Greek Old Testament reads “scab” or “wound” instead of “soda”].

21 If ·your enemy [L one you hate] 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 [Rom. 12:19–21].
