21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
21 If you see your enemy hungry, go buy him lunch; if he's thirsty, bring him a drink.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
21 If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain is a sly tongue-which provokes a horrified look.
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
23 The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
23 A north wind brings stormy weather, and a gossipy tongue stormy looks.
23 The north wind brings forth rain, And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
23 As surely as a north wind brings rain, so a gossiping tongue causes anger!
(Read Proverbs 25:23)
Slanders would not be so readily spoken, if they were not readily heard. Sin, if it receives any check, becomes cowardly.

The precept to love even our enemies is an Old Testament commandment. Our Saviour has shown his own great example in loving us when we were enemies.
