New Revised Standard Version Help
26Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.H7950H7019H4306H7105H3519H5000H3684 2Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, an undeserved curse goes nowhere.H6833H5110H1866H5774H7045H2600H935 3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.H7752H5483H4964H2543H7626H3684H1460 4Do not answer fools according to their folly, or you will be a fool yourself.H6030H3684H200H7737 5Answer fools according to their folly, or they will be wise in their own eyes.H6030H3684H200H2450H5869 6It is like cutting off one's foot and drinking down violence, to send a message by a fool.H7971H1697H3027H3684H7096H7272H8354H2555 7The legs of a disabled person hang limp; so does a proverb in the mouth of a fool.H7785H6455H1809H4912H6310H3684 8It is like binding a stone in a sling to give honor to a fool.H6872H6887H68H4773H5414H3519H3684 9Like a thornbush brandished by the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.H2336H5927H3027H7910H4912H6310H3684 10Like an archer who wounds everybody is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.H7227H2342H7936H3684H7936H5674 11Like a dog that returns to its vomit is a fool who reverts to his folly.H3611H7725H6892H3684H8138H200 12Do you see persons wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for fools than for them.H7200H376H2450H5869H8615H3684 13The lazy person says, "There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!"H6102H559H7826H1870H738H7339 14As a door turns on its hinges, so does a lazy person in bed.H1817H5437H6735H6102H4296 15The lazy person buries a hand in the dish, and is too tired to bring it back to the mouth.H6102H2934H3027H6747H3811H7725H6310 16The lazy person is wiser in self-esteem than seven who can answer discreetly.H6102H2450H5869H7651H7725H2940 17Like somebody who takes a passing dog by the ears is one who meddles in the quarrel of another.H5674H5674H7379H2388H3611H241 18Like a maniac who shoots deadly firebrands and arrows,H3856H3384H2131H2671H4194 19so is one who deceives a neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"H376H7411H7453H559H7832 20For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.H657H6086H784H3518H5372H4066H8367 21As charcoal is to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.H6352H1513H6086H784H4079H4066H376H2787H7379 22The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.H1697H5372H3859H3381H2315H990 23Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are smooth lips with an evil heart.H1814H8193H7451H3820H2789H6823H3701H5509 24An enemy dissembles in speaking while harboring deceit within;H8130H5234H8193H7896H4820H7130 25when an enemy speaks graciously, do not believe it, for there are seven abominations concealed within;H6963H2603H539H7651H8441H3820 26though hatred is covered with guile, the enemy's wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.H8135H3680H4860H7451H1540H6951 27Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling.H3738H7845H5307H1556H68H7725 28A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.H8267H3956H8130H1790H2509H6310H6213H4072
