Proverbs 25:21-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 If your enemies are hungry, give them bread to eat,
and if they are thirsty, give them water to drink,(A)
22 for you will heap coals of fire on their heads,
and the Lord will reward you.(B)
23 The north wind produces rain,
and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.(C)

Proverbs 25:21-23
New International Version
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals(A) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.(B)
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
