American Standard Version
Proverbs 25:21-23
American Standard Version
21 If [a]thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat;
And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head,
And Jehovah will reward thee.
23 The north wind bringeth forth rain;
So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

Proverbs 25:21-23
New International Version
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(A) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.(B)
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
