Proverbs 25:21-23
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 for you will heap coals of fire on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings forth rain;
and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

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.
