If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 21 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.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
