Proverbs Chapter[BR] 26

1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, so the curse that is causeless lighteth not. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of fools. 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto 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 cf15i his own feet, cf15i and drinketh in damage. 7 The legs of the lame hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 8 As a bag of gems in a heap of stones, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 9 cf15i As a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the month of fools. 10 cf15i As an archer that woundeth all, so is he that hireth the fool and he that hireth them that pass by. 11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, cf15i so is a fool that repeateth his folly. 12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 14 cf15i As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the sluggard upon his bed. 15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth 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, cf15i and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, is cf15i like one that taketh a dog by the ears. 18 As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death; 19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? 20 For lack of wood the fire goeth out: and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth. 21 cf15i As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to inflame strife. 22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart are cf15i like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross. 24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him: 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart: 26 Though cf15i his hatred cover itself with guile, his wickedness shall be openly shewed before the congregation. 27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him. 28 A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Proverbs 26
1. As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 2. As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, so the curse that is causeless lighteth not. 3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of fools. 4. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto 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 {cf15i his own} feet, {cf15i and} drinketh in damage. 7. The legs of the lame hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 8. As a bag of gems in a heap of stones, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 9. {cf15i As} a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the month of fools. 10. {cf15i As} an archer that woundeth all, so is he that hireth the fool and he that hireth them that pass by. 11. As a dog that returneth to his vomit, {cf15i so is} a fool that repeateth his folly. 12. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 13. The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 14. {cf15i As} the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the sluggard upon his bed. 15. The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth 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, {cf15i and} vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, is {cf15i like} one that taketh a dog by the ears. 18. As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death; 19. So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? 20. For lack of wood the fire goeth out: and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth. 21. {cf15i As} coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to inflame strife. 22. The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 23. Fervent lips and a wicked heart are {cf15i like} an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross. 24. He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him: 25. When he speaketh fair, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart: 26. Though {cf15i his} hatred cover itself with guile, his wickedness shall be openly shewed before the congregation. 27. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him. 28. A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
