20 Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on [a]soda,
Is one who sings songs to [b]a troubled heart.
21 (A)If [c]your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 For you will [d]heap burning coals on his head,
And (B)the Lord will reward you.
