Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 25 of Proverbs. Eating too much honey becomes a metaphor for excess: even something good can become harmful when consumed without moderation. Friendship also requires boundaries; visiting a neighbor’s house too often can turn affection into weariness. The proverb about feeding a hungry enemy presents a way of responding to evil with concrete good, leaving the final outcome in the Lord’s hands.

Die Hoffnung auf einen Treulosen zur Zeit der Not ist wie ein fauler Zahn und gleitender Fuß.
Diente quebrado y pie resbalador, Es la confianza en el prevaricador en tiempo de angustia.
Como un diente malo y un pie que resbala es confiar en el traidor el día de la angustia.
Comme une dent cassée et un pied qui chancelle, Ainsi est la confiance en un perfide au jour de la détresse.
La confidanza che si pone nel disleale è, in giorno di afflizione, Un dente rotto, ed un piè dislogato
Como dente quebrado, e pé desconjuntado, é a confiança no desleal, no tempo da angústia.
患難時倚靠奸詐的人, 好像牙齒斷裂,又如腳脫臼。
