Proverbs 25:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Depending on an unreliable person in a crisis is like trying to chew with a loose tooth or walk with a crippled foot.

²⁰ Singing to a person who is depressed is like taking off a person's clothes on a cold day or like rubbing salt in a wound.

^21 (A)If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink.
