Proverbs 25:19-20
New Living Translation
19 Putting confidence in an unreliable person in times of trouble
is like chewing with a broken tooth or walking on a lame foot.
20 Singing cheerful songs to a person with a heavy heart
is like taking someone’s coat in cold weather
or pouring vinegar in a wound.[a]
Footnotes
- 25:20 As in Greek version; Hebrew reads pouring vinegar on soda.
