26Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.H7950H7019H4306H7105H3519H5000H3684 2Like a sparrow in [its] flitting, like a swallow in [its] flying, So a curse without cause does not alight.H6833H5110H1866H5774H7045H2600H935 3A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools.H7752H5483H4964H2543H7626H3684H1460 4Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.H6030H3684H200H7737 5Answer a fool as his folly [deserves], Lest he be wise in his own eyes.H6030H3684H200H2450H5869 6He cuts off [his own] feet, [and] drinks violence Who sends a message by the hand of a fool.H7971H1697H3027H3684H7096H7272H8354H2555 7[Like] the legs [which] hang down from the lame, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.H7785H6455H1809H4912H6310H3684 8Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.H6872H6887H68H4773H5414H3519H3684 9[Like] a thorn [which] falls into the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.H2336H5927H3027H7910H4912H6310H3684 10[Like] an archer who wounds everyone, So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.H7227H2342H7936H3684H7936H5674 11Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly.H3611H7725H6892H3684H8138H200 12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.H7200H376H2450H5869H8615H3684 13The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square!"H6102H559H7826H1870H738H7339 14[As] the door turns on its hinges, So [does] the sluggard on his bed.H1817H5437H6735H6102H4296 15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.H6102H2934H3027H6747H3811H7725H6310 16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.H6102H2450H5869H7651H7725H2940 17[Like] one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by [and] meddles with strife not belonging to him.H5674H5674H7379H2388H3611H241 18Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death,H3856H3384H2131H2671H4194 19So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, "Was I not joking?"H376H7411H7453H559H7832 20For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.H657H6086H784H3518H5372H4066H8367 21[Like] charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.H6352H1513H6086H784H4079H4066H376H2787H7379 22The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.H1697H5372H3859H3381H2315H990 23[Like] an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart.H1814H8193H7451H3820H2789H6823H3701H5509 24He who hates disguises [it] with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart.H8130H5234H8193H7896H4820H7130 25When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart.H6963H2603H539H7651H8441H3820 26[Though his] hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.H8135H3680H4860H7451H1540H6951 27He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.H3738H7845H5307H1556H68H7725 28A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin.H8267H3956H8130H1790H2509H6310H6213H4072
