Proverbs 25:17-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
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.King James Version
Chapter 25
17Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 25
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
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.New International Version
Chapter 25
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
