19 Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay,[a](A) says the Lord. 20 But

If your enemy is hungry, feed him.(B)
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
For in so doing
you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.[b](C)

21 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
