“A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow. Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Islikea broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon soda, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee. The north wind bringeth forth rain; So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house. Ascold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country. Asa troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So isa righteous man that giveth way before the wicked. It is not good to eat much honey; Sofor mento search out their own glory is grievous. He whose spirit is without restraint Islikea city that is broken down and without walls. ”

“A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow. Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot. As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink: for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you. The north wind brings forth rain: so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman. Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked. It is not good to eat much honey; nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor. Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.”

“Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow, so is the one who testifies against his neighbor as a false witness. Like a bad tooth or a foot out of joint, so is confidence in an unfaithful person at the time of trouble. Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD will reward you. The north wind brings forth rain, and a gossiping tongue brings forth an angry look. It is better to live on a corner of the housetop than in a house in company with a quarrelsome wife. Like cold water to a weary person, so is good news from a distant land. Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked. It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable for people to seek their own glory. Like a city that is broken down and without a wall, so is a person who cannot control his temper.”

“A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour, is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow. To trust in an unfaithful man in the time of trouble, is like a rotten tooth, and weary foot, And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart. If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee. The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue. It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop: than with a brawling woman, and in a common house. As cold water to a thirsty soul, so are good tidings from a far country. A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot and a corrupted spring. As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty shall be overwhelmed by glory. As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking. ”

“One who gives false witness against his neighbour is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow. Putting one's faith in a false man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a shaking foot. Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart. If your hater is in need of food, give him bread; and if he is in need of drink, give him water: For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward. As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly. It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house. As cold water to a tired soul, so is good news from a far country. Like a troubled fountain and a dirty spring, is an upright man who has to give way before evil-doers. It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured. He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.”
