Nuggets of Wisdom

23 The north wind brings rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

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 burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

20 Whoever sings songs to a heavy heart is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, and like vinegar on soda.

19 Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.

18 A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a war club, or a sword, or a sharp arrow.

17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you.

16 If you find honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.

15 With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone.
