Enemies
24:17
Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
24:29
Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”
25:21-22
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia:
"...in Proverbs 25:22 kindness bestowed upon an enemy is called "heaping coals of fire upon his head," since it tends to waken his deadened conscience and help him to realize his wrong."
