20Taking your coat off when it's cold or pouring vinegar on soda? that's what singing songs does to a heavy heart.H5710H899H7135H3117H2558H5427H7891H7892H7451H3820
21If your enemy hungers, give him food to eat; and if he thirsts, give him water to drink.H8130H7457H3899H398H6771H4325H8248
22For you'll be piling burning coals of shame on his head and the Lord will reward you.H2846H1513H7218H3068H7999
23The north wind brings rain, and a backbiting tongue an angry look.H6828H7307H2342H1653H2194H6440H5643H3956
