...sometimes your thoughts/opinions are hard for people to hear. I love those moments when you come across a verse in the Bible that you didn't know ever existed but always hoped you'd find. Here's one, Proverbs 25:20, in a few different versions:
"Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart." (NIV)
"Singing light songs to the heavyhearted is like pouring salt in their wounds." (MSG)
And then there's the KJV version, which I think makes it sound more legit:
"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."

This may be affected by what you think was meant by "heavy heart." Any exegesis on that?
