Proverbs 25:22-24

The Message

^21-22 If you see your enemy hungry, go buy him lunch;
    if he’s thirsty, bring him a drink.
Your generosity will surprise him with goodness,
    and God will look after you.

²³ A north wind brings stormy weather,
    and a gossipy tongue stormy looks.

²⁴ Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack
    than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.
