Proverbs 25:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ Like a man who undresses in winter
    or a woman who pours vinegar on a wound,^[a]
So is anyone who tries to sing happy songs
    to a sorrowful heart.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him something to eat;
    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink,
²² For your kind treatment will be like heaping hot coals on his head,^[b]
    it may cause a change in heart,
    and the Eternal will repay you.
