Proverbios 26

1As snow^H7950 in summer^H7019, and as rain^H4306 in harvest^H7105, So honor^H3519 is not seemly^H5000 for a fool^H3684. 2As the sparrow^H6833 in her wandering^H5110, as the swallow^H1866 in her flying^H5774, So the curse^H7045 that is causeless^H2600 alighteth^H935 not. 3A whip^H7752 for the horse^H5483, a bridle^H4964 for the ass^H2543, And a rod^H7626 for the back^H1460 of fools^H3684. 4Answer^H6030 not a fool^H3684 according to his folly^H200, Lest thou also be like^H7737 unto him. 5Answer^H6030 a fool^H3684 according to his folly^H200, Lest he be wise^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869. 6He that sendeth^H7971 a message^H1697 by the hand^H3027 of a fool^H3684 Cutteth off^H7096 his own feet^H7272, and drinketh^H8354 in damage^H2555. 7The legs^H7785 of the lame^H6455 hang loose^H1809: So is a parable^H4912 in the mouth^H6310 of fools^H3684. 8As one that bindeth^H6872 a stone^H68 in a sling^H4773, So is he that giveth^H5414 honor^H3519 to a fool^H3684. 9 As a thorn^H2336 that goeth up^H5927 into the hand^H3027 of a drunkard^H7910, So is a parable^H4912 in the mouth^H6310 of fools^H3684. 10As an archer^H7227 that woundeth^H2342 all, So is he that hireth^H7936 a fool^H3684 and he that hireth^H7936 them that pass by^H5674. 11As a dog^H3611 that returneth^H7725 to his vomit^H6892, So is a fool^H3684 that repeateth^H8138 his folly^H200. 12Seest^H7200 thou a man^H376 wise^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869? There is more hope^H8615 of a fool^H3684 than of him. 13The sluggard^H6102 saith^H559, There is a lion^H7826 in the way^H1870; A lion^H7826 is in the streets^H7339. 14 As the door^H1817 turneth^H5437 upon its hinges^H6735, So doth the sluggard^H6102 upon his bed^H4296. 15The sluggard^H6102 burieth^H2934 his hand^H3027 in the dish^H6747; It wearieth^H3811 him to bring it again^H7725 to his mouth^H6310. 16The sluggard^H6102 is wiser^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869 Than seven men^H7651 that can render^H7725 a reason^H2940. 17He that passeth by^H5674, and vexeth^H5674 himself with strife^H7379 belonging not to him, Is like one that taketh^H2388 a dog^H3611 by the ears^H241. 18As a madman^H3856 who casteth^H3384 firebrands^H2131, Arrows^H2671, and death^H4194, 19So is the man^H376 that deceiveth^H7411 his neighbor^H7453, And saith^H559, Am not I in sport^H7832? 20For lack^H657 of wood^H6086 the fire^H784 goeth out^H3518; And where there is no whisperer^H5372, contention^H4066 ceaseth^H8367. 21 As coals^H6352 are to hot embers^H1513, and wood^H6086 to fire^H784, So is a contentious^H4079 man^H376 to inflame^H2787 strife^H7379. 22The words^H1697 of a whisperer^H5372 are as dainty morsels^H3859, And they go down^H3381 into the innermost^H990 parts^H2315. 23Fervent^H1814 lips^H8193 and a wicked^H7451 heart^H3820 Are like an earthen^H2789 vessel overlaid^H6823 with silver^H3701 dross^H5509. 24He that hateth^H8130 dissembleth^H5234 with his lips^H8193; But he layeth up^H7896 deceit^H4820 within^H7130 him: 25When he speaketh^H6963 fair^H2603, believe^H539 him not; For there are seven^H7651 abominations^H8441 in his heart^H3820: 26Though his hatred^H8135 cover^H3680 itself with guile^H4860, His wickedness^H7451 shall be openly showed^H1540 before the assembly^H6951. 27Whoso diggeth^H3738 a pit^H7845 shall fall^H5307 therein; And he that rolleth^H1556 a stone^H68, it shall return^H7725 upon him. 28A lying^H8267 tongue^H3956 hateth^H8130 those whom it hath wounded^H1790; And a flattering^H2509 mouth^H6310 worketh^H6213 ruin^H4072.
