Proverbs 25:20-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
20
Like
one who takes off a garment on a cold day,
or like
vinegar on soda,
Is one who sings songs to a troubled heart.
21
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22
For you will heap burning coals on his head,
And the
Lord
will reward you.
23
The north wind brings rain,
And a gossiping tongue
brings
an angry face.
24
It is better to live on a corner of the roof,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25
Like
cold water to a weary soul,
So is good news from a distant land.
26
Like
a trampled spring and a polluted well,
So
is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.
27
It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory.
King James Version
Chapter 25
20
As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the
Lord
shall reward thee.
23
The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25
As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26
A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27
It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 25
20
Singing songs to a troubled heart
is like taking off clothing on a cold day
or like pouring vinegar on soda.
21
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat,
and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22
for you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the
Lord
will reward you.
23
The north wind produces rain,
and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
24
Better to live on the corner of a roof
than to share a house with a nagging wife.
25
Good news from a distant land
is like cold water to a parched throat.
26
A righteous person who yields to the wicked
is like a muddied spring or a polluted well.
27
It is not good to eat too much honey
or to seek glory after glory.
New Living Translation
Chapter 25
20
Singing cheerful songs to a person with a heavy heart
is like taking someone’s coat in cold weather
or pouring vinegar in a wound.
21
If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.
If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
22
You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads,
and the
Lord
will reward you.
23
As surely as a north wind brings rain,
so a gossiping tongue causes anger!
24
It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic
than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.
25
Good news from far away
is like cold water to the thirsty.
26
If the godly give in to the wicked,
it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.
27
It’s not good to eat too much honey,
and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself.
English Standard Version
Chapter 25
20
Whoever sings songs to a heavy heart
is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day,
and like vinegar on soda.
21
If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat,
and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
22
for you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the
Lord
will reward you.
23
The north wind brings forth rain,
and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
24
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
25
Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
so is good news from a far country.
26
Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27
It is not good to eat much honey,
nor is it glorious to seek one 's own glory.
New International Version
Chapter 25
20
Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on a wound,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the
Lord
will reward you.
23
Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
24
Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
25
Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.
26
Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
27
It is not good to eat too much honey,
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.
New King James Version
Chapter 25
20
Like
one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
And like
vinegar on soda,
Is
one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21
If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22
For
so
you will heap coals of fire on his head,
And the
Lord
will reward you.
23
The north wind brings forth rain,
And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24
It is
better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25
As
cold water to a weary soul,
So
is
good news from a far country.
26
A righteous
man
who falters before the wicked
Is like
a murky spring and a polluted well.
27
It is
not good to eat much honey;
So to seek one’s own glory
is not
glory.
