²⁹ Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me;
    I will repay the man according to his work.”

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.
    If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
²² for you will heap coals of fire on his head,
    and Yahweh will reward you.

²⁸ Like a city that is broken down and without walls
    is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

⁴ Wrath is cruel,
    and anger is overwhelming;
    but who is able to stand before jealousy?

⁸ Mockers stir up a city,
    but wise men turn away anger.
⁹ If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,
    the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
