Proverbs 25:20

מַ֥עְדֶה בֶ֗גֶד בְּי֣וֹם קָ֭רָה חֹ֣מֶץ עַל נָ֑תֶר וְשָׁ֥ר בַּ֝שִּׁירִ֗ים עַ֣ל לֶב רָֽע׃
maʿdeh beged byvom qarah ḥomeṣ ʿal nater vshar bashiyriym ʿal leb raʿ
King James Version (KJV)

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

Modern English

Whoever sings songs to a heavy heart is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, and like vinegar on soda.
