and turn His wrath away from him.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat,
and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;^(A)
22 for you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.^(B)

⁶ The wounds of a friend are trustworthy,^(A)
but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.^(B)
