World English Bible

for you will heap coals of fire on his head,
and Yahweh will reward you.

Proverbs 25:22 in other translations

For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee.

20As one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
or vinegar on soda,
so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.
If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22for you will heap coals of fire on his head,
and Yahweh will reward you.
23The north wind produces rain;
so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop
than to share a house with a contentious woman.
