Proverbs 25:21
World English Bible (WEB)
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
In context
19 Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.
20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. 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 produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
