lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.

Proverbs 25:19-20
English Standard Version
19 Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble
is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.
20 Whoever (A)sings songs to a heavy heart
is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day,
and like vinegar on soda.
Proverbs 25:19-20
International Standard Version
19 A bad tooth and an unsteady foot—
that’s what confidence in an unreliable man is like
in a time of trouble.
20 Taking your coat off when it’s cold
or pouring vinegar on soda—
that’s what singing songs does to a heavy heart.
