    Proverbs 26
    • 1   As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
    • 2   As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
    • 3   A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
    • 4   Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
    • 5   Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
    • 6   He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
    • 7   As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
    • 8   As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
    • 9   As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
    • 10   Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
    • 11   As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
    • 12   Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
    • 13   The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
    • 14   As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
    • 15   The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
    • 16   The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
    • 17   As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man's quarrel.
    • 18   As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death.
    • 19   So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
    • 20   When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
    • 21   As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
    • 22   The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
    • 23   Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthern vessel adorned with silver dross.
    • 24   An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
    • 25   When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
    • 26   He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
    • 27   He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
    • 28   A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
