“Proverbs 25:21 gives no hint that revenge is an option for the wise per-son-one who fears the Lord (Prov
1:7; 9:10). Rather, this verse is a rebuttal to retaliation. Instead of suggesting that we seek vengeance, it encourages us to show kindness to our enemy: If he is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him water. This aligns with the wider biblical teachings on the treatment of enemies. For exam-ple, consider Proverbs 24:17-18”
