Proverbs 25:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
In context
19 Like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.
20 Like one who removes a garment on a cold day or vinegar poured on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
23 As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
