For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

Verse 22 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.

Denn du wirst feurige Kohlen auf sein Haupt häufen, und der HERR wird dir's vergelten.
Porque ascuas allegas sobre su cabeza, Y Jehová te lo pagará.
porque así amontonarás brasas sobre su cabeza, y Jehová te recompensará.
Car ce sont des charbons ardents que tu amasses sur sa tête, Et l'Eternel te récompensera.
Perciocchè così tu gli metterai delle brace in su la testa; E il Signore te ne farà la retribuzione
Porque assim lhe amontoarás brasas sobre a cabeça; e o SENHOR to retribuirá.
因為你這樣做,就是把炭火堆在他的頭上, 耶和華必回報你。
