Proverbs 25:16-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
16Have you found honey? Eat only what you need, So that you do not have it in excess and vomit it. 17Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor’s house, Or he will become weary of you and hate you. 18 Like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow Is a person who gives false testimony against his neighbor. 19 Like a bad tooth and an unsteady foot Is confidence in a treacherous person in time of trouble. 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. 21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; 22For you will heap burning coals on his head, And the Lord will reward you. 23The north wind brings rain, And a gossiping tongue brings an angry face. 24It is better to live on a corner of the roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 25
16If you find honey, eat only what you need; otherwise, you'll get sick from it and vomit.
17Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house; otherwise, he'll get sick of you and hate you.
18A person giving false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Chapter 25
16If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it. 17Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you. 18A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a war club, or a sword, or a sharp arrow. 19Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips. 20Whoever sings songs to a heavy heart is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, and like vinegar on soda. 21If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, 22for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you. 23The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks. 24It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.New International Version
17Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house-- too much of you, and they will hate you.
18Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.
19Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
New King James Version
