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