American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
If {Hebrew: he that hateth thee}thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat;And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head,And Jehovah will reward thee.
The north wind bringeth forth rain:So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
As cold waters to a {Or, weary}thirsty soul,So is good news from a far country.
As a {Hebrew: trampled.}troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring,So is a righteous man that {Or, is moved }giveth way before the wicked.
It is not good to eat much honey: {Or, But for men to search out their own glory is glory The Hebrew text is obscure.}So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.
{Or, He that hath no rule over his spirit}He whose spirit is without restraintIs like a city that is broken down and without walls.
