Proverbs 26
- 1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest; so honor is not seemly for a fool.
- 2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
- 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
- 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like him.
- 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
- 6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, [and] drinketh damage.
- 7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools.
- 8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so [is] he that giveth honor to a fool.
- 9 [As] a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools.
- 10 The great [God] that formed all [things] both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
- 11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, [so] a fool returneth to his folly.
- 12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? [there is] more hope of a fool than of him.
- 13 The slothful [man] saith, [There is] a lion in the way; a lion [is] in the streets.
- 14 [As] the door turneth upon its hinges, so [doth] the slothful upon his bed.
- 15 The slothful hideth [his] hand in [his] bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
- 16 The sluggard [is] wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
- 17 He that passeth by, [and] meddleth with strife [belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh a dog by the ears.
- 18 As a mad [man] who casteth fire-brands, arrows, and death,
- 19 So [is] the man [that] deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?
- 20 Where no wood is, [there] the fire goeth out: so where [there is] no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth.
- 21 [As] coals [are] to burning coals, and wood to fire; so [is] a contentious man to kindle strife.
- 22 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
- 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart [are like] a potsherd covered with silver dross.
- 24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
- 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for [there are] seven abominations in his heart.
- 26 [Whose] hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shown before the [whole] congregation.
- 27 Whoever diggeth a pit shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
- 28 A lying tongue hateth [those that are] afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
