Proverbs 25:22 Context
20As hee that taketh away a garment in cold weather; and as vineger vpon nitre; so is he that singeth songs to an heauy heart. 21If thine enemie be hungry, giue him bread to eate: and if hee be thirstie, giue him water to drinke. 22For thou shalt heape coales of fire vpon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. 23The North winde driueth away raine: so doeth an angrie countenance a backbiting tongue. 24It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top, then with a brawling woman, and in a wide house.
