22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
22 for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
22 Your generosity will surprise him with goodness, and God will look after you.
22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the Lord will reward you.
22 You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the Lord will reward you.
