20 Singing to someone
    in deep sorrow
is like pouring vinegar
    in an open cut.[a]

21 (A) If your enemies are hungry,
    give them something to eat.
And if they are thirsty,
give them something
    to drink.
22 This will be the same
as piling burning coals
    on their heads.
And the Lord
    will reward you.
