3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.H7752H5483H4964H2543H7626H3684H1460

7The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.H7785H6455H1809H4912H6310H3684

8As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.H6872H6887H68H4773H5414H3519H3684

9As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.H2336H5927H3027H7910H4912H6310H3684

10The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.H7227H2342H7936H3684H7936H5674

18As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,H3856H3384H2131H2671H4194

19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?H376H7411H7453H559H7832

20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.H657H6086H784H3518H5372H4066H8367

21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.H6352H1513H6086H784H4079H4066H376H2787H7379
