Proverbs 25:21-23 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

²¹If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat,

and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

²²For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head,

and the LORD will reward you.

²³As the north wind brings forth rain,

so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
