If your enemy is hungry - Proverbs 25-27

Analogies of Wisdom

[21] If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; 

[22] For you will heap burning coals on his head, And Yahweh will repay you. 

[Pro 25:21-22 LSB]

[19] never taking your own revenge, beloved--instead leave room for the wrath [of God]. For it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 

[20] "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD." 

[21] Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 

[Rom 12:19-21 LSB]

[11] Like a dog that returns to its vomit 

Is a fool who repeats his folly.
[Pro 26:11 LSB]

[20] For if they are overcome, having [both] escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and having again been entangled in them, [then] the last state has become worse for them than the first. 

[21] For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. 

[22] The [message] of the true proverb has happened to them, "A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, [returns] to wallowing in the mire." 

[2Pe 2:20-22 LSB]

 

Instructions and Warnings

[1] Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth. 

[Pro 27:1 LSB]

[13] Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." 

[14] Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. 

[Jas 4:13-14 LSB]

[10] Do not forsake your friend or your father's friend, And do not come to your brother's house in the day of your disaster; Better is one who dwells near than a brother far away.
