Honor Is Not Fitting for a Fool

26As snow in summer and rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.H7950H7019H4306H7105H3519H5000H3684 2Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight.H6833H5110H1866H5774H7045H2600H935 3A whip for the horse, A bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the fool's back.H7752H5483H4964H2543H7626H3684H1460 4Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.H6030H3684H200H7737 5Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.H6030H3684H200H2450H5869 6He who sends a message by the hand of a fool Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.H7971H1697H3027H3684H7096H7272H8354H2555 7Like the legs of the lame that hang limp Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.H7785H6455H1809H4912H6310H3684 8Like one who binds a stone in a sling Is he who gives honor to a fool.H6872H6887H68H4773H5414H3519H3684 9Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.H2336H5927H3027H7910H4912H6310H3684 10The great God who formed everything Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.H7227H2342H7936H3684H7936H5674 11As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool 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 lazy man says, "There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!"H6102H559H7826H1870H738H7339 14As a door turns on its hinges, So does the lazy man on his bed.H1817H5437H6735H6102H4296 15The lazy man buries his hand in the bowl; It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.H6102H2934H3027H6747H3811H7725H6310 16The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer sensibly.H6102H2450H5869H7651H7725H2940 17He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.H5674H5674H7379H2388H3611H241 18Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,H3856H3384H2131H2671H4194 19Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, "I was only joking!"H376H7411H7453H559H7832 20Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.H657H6086H784H3518H5372H4066H8367 21As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.H6352H1513H6086H784H4079H4066H376H2787H7379 22The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body.H1697H5372H3859H3381H2315H990 23Fervent lips with a wicked heart Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.H1814H8193H7451H3820H2789H6823H3701H5509 24He who hates, disguises it with his lips, And lays up deceit within himself;H8130H5234H8193H7896H4820H7130 25When he speaks kindly, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart;H6963H2603H539H7651H8441H3820 26Though his hatred is covered by deceit, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.H8135H3680H4860H7451H1540H6951 27Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.H3738H7845H5307H1556H68H7725 28A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, And a flattering mouth works ruin.H8267H3956H8130H1790H2509H6310H6213H4072
