Proverbs 25:20 in Context — Proverbs 25
18 Martelo, espada e flecha afiada é o homem que fala falso testemunho contra seu próximo.
19 Confiar num infiel no tempo de angústia é [como] um dente quebrado ou um pé sem firmeza.
20 Quem canta canções ao coração aflito é como aquele que tira a roupa num dia frio, ou como vinagre sobre salitre.
21 Se aquele que te odeia tiver fome, dá-lhe pão para comer; e se tiver sede, dá-lhe água para beber;
22 Porque [assim] amontoarás brasas sobre a cabeça dele, e o SENHOR te recompensará.
