Proverbs 25:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Trusting unfaithful people ·when you are in [^Lon a day of] trouble
is like eating with a broken tooth or walking with a crippled foot.

²⁰ Singing songs to ·someone who is sad [^La troubled heart]
    is like taking away his coat on a cold day
or pouring vinegar on soda [^Csodium bicarbonate; mixing the two would cause an adverse reaction; the Greek Old Testament reads “scab” or “wound” instead of “soda”].

²¹ If ·your enemy [^Lone you hate] is hungry, feed him.
    If he is thirsty, give him a drink.
