Proverbs 25:22 in Context — Proverbs 25

20 Oter son vêtement dans un jour froid, Répandre du vinaigre sur du nitre, C’est dire des chansons à un cœur attristé.

21 Si ton ennemi a faim, donne-lui du pain à manger; S’il a soif, donne-lui de l’eau à boire.

22 Car ce sont des charbons ardents que tu amasses sur sa tête, Et l’Éternel te récompensera.

23 Le vent du nord enfante la pluie, Et la langue mystérieuse un visage irrité.

24 Mieux vaut habiter à l’angle d’un toit, Que de partager la demeure d’une femme querelleuse.
