¹⁷ Don’t ·be happy [rejoice] when your enemy ·is defeated [^Lfalls];
    don’t let your heart be glad when he ·is overwhelmed [^Lstumbles].
¹⁸ The Lord will notice and ·be displeased [^Lit will be bad in his eyes].
    He may ·not be angry with them anymore [^Lturn his anger from them; Job 31:29; Ps. 35:15–16; Rom. 12:17–21].

²¹ If ·your enemy [^Lone you hate] is hungry, feed him.
    If he is thirsty, give him a drink.
²² Doing this will be like pouring burning coals on his head,
    and the Lord will reward you [Rom. 12:19–21].

⁶ The ·slap [bruises] of a friend can be trusted to help you,
but the kisses of an enemy are ·nothing but lies [or dangerous; Matt. 26:48–50].
