As snow in summer and rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool. |
2
|
Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight. |
3
|
A whip for the horse, A bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the fool's back. |
4
|
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him. |
5

Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes. |

He who sends a message by the hand of a fool Cuts off [his own] feet [and] drinks violence. |

[Like] the legs of the lame that hang limp [Is] a proverb in the mouth of fools. |
8
|
Like one who binds a stone in a sling [Is] he who gives honor to a fool. |
9

[Like] a thorn [that] goes into the hand of a drunkard [Is] a proverb in the mouth of fools. |
10
|
The great [God] who formed everything Gives the fool [his] hire and the transgressor [his] wages. |
11

As a dog returns to his own vomit, [So] a fool repeats his folly. |
12

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? [There is] more hope for a fool than for him. |
13
|
The lazy [man] says, "[There is] a lion in the road! A fierce lion [is] in the streets!" |
14
|
[As] a door turns on its hinges, So [does] the lazy [man] on his bed. |
15
|
The lazy [man] buries his hand in the bowl; It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth. |
16
|
The lazy [man is] wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer sensibly. |
17
|
He who passes by [and] meddles in a quarrel not his own [Is like] one who takes a dog by the ears. |
18
|
Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death, |
19
|
[Is] the man [who] deceives his neighbor, And says, "I was only joking!" |
20
|
Where [there is] no wood, the fire goes out; And where [there is] no talebearer, strife ceases. |
21
|
[As] charcoal [is] to burning coals, and wood to fire, So [is] a contentious man to kindle strife. |
22
|
The words of a talebearer [are] like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body. |
23
|
Fervent lips with a wicked heart [Are like] earthenware covered with silver dross. |
24
|
He who hates, disguises [it] with his lips, And lays up deceit within himself; |
25
|
When he speaks kindly, do not believe him, For [there are] seven abominations in his heart; |
26
|
[Though his] hatred is covered by deceit, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly. |
27
|
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him. |
28
|
A lying tongue hates [those who are] crushed by it, And a flattering mouth works ruin. |
