Proverbs 26
As
snow
in
summer,
and
as
rain
in
harvest,
so
a
honour
is
not
seemly
for
a
fool.
2 As
the
bird
by
wandering,
as
the
swallow
by
flying,
so
the
curse
causeless
shall
not
come.
3 A
whip
for
the
horse,
a
bridle
for
the
ass,
and
a
rod
for
the
fool's
back.
4 Answer
not
a
fool
according
to
his
folly,
lest
thou
also
be
like
unto
him.
5
a
Answer
a
fool
according
to
his
folly,
lest
he
be
wise
in
his
b
own
conceit.
6 He
that
sendeth
a
message
by
the
hand
of
a
fool
cutteth
off
the
feet,
and
drinketh
a
damage.
7 The
legs
of
the
lame
are
not
equal:
so
is
a
parable
in
the
mouth
of
fools.
8 As
he
that
bindeth
a
stone
in
a
sling,
so
is
he
that
giveth
honour
to
a
fool.
9 As
a
thorn
goeth
up
into
the
hand
of
a
drunkard,
so
is
a
parable
in
the
mouth
of
fools.
10 The
great
God
that
formed
all
things
both
a
rewardeth
the
fool,
and
rewardeth
transgressors.
11 As
a
dog
returneth
to
his
a
vomit,
so
a
fool
returneth
to
his
folly.
12 Seest
thou
a
man
wise
in
his
own
a
conceit?
there
is
more
hope
of
a
b
fool
than
of
him.
13 The
a
slothful
man
saith,
There
is
a
lion
in
the
way;
a
lion
is
in
the
streets.
14 As
the
door
turneth
upon
his
hinges,
so
doth
the
slothful
upon
his
bed.
15 The
slothful
hideth
his
hand
in
his
bosom;
it
grieveth
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,
and
meddleth
with
strife
belonging
not
to
him,
is
like
one
that
a
taketh
a
dog
by
the
ears.
18 As
a
mad
man
who
casteth
firebrands,
arrows,
and
death,
19 So
is
the
man
that
a
deceiveth
his
neighbour,
and
saith,
Am
not
I
in
sport?
20 Where
no
wood
is,
there
the
fire
goeth
out:
so
where
there
is
no
a
talebearer,
the
b
strife
ceaseth.
21 As
coals
are
to
burning
coals,
and
wood
to
fire;
so
is
a
a
contentious
man
to
kindle
strife.
22 The
words
of
a
talebearer
are
as
wounds,
and
they
go
down
into
the
innermost
parts
of
the
belly.
23 Burning
lips
and
a
wicked
heart
are
like
a
a
potsherd
covered
with
silver
dross.
24 He
that
a
hateth
dissembleth
with
his
lips,
and
layeth
up
b
deceit
within
him;
25 When
he
a
speaketh
fair,
believe
him
not:
for
there
are
seven
abominations
in
his
heart.
26 Whose
hatred
is
covered
by
deceit,
his
wickedness
shall
be
a
shewed
before
the
whole
congregation.
27 Whoso
diggeth
a
a
pit
shall
fall
therein:
and
he
that
rolleth
a
stone,
it
will
return
upon
him.
28 A
a
lying
tongue
hateth
those
that
are
afflicted
by
it;
and
a
b
flattering
mouth
worketh
ruin.
