Pro 26:1

Pro 26:1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.

Pro 26:2

Pro 26:2Like a fluttering sparrow, Like a darting swallow, So the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.

Pro 26:3

Pro 26:3A whip for the horse, A bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools!

Pro 26:4

Pro 26:4Don't answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.

Pro 26:5

Pro 26:5Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.

Pro 26:6

Pro 26:6One who sends a message by the hand of a fool Is cutting off feet and drinking violence.

Pro 26:7

Pro 26:7Like the legs of the lame that hang loose: So is a parable in the mouth of fools.

Pro 26:8

Pro 26:8As one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.

Pro 26:9

Pro 26:9Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.

Pro 26:10

Pro 26:10As an archer who wounds all, So is he who hires a fool Or he who hires those who pass by.

Pro 26:11

Pro 26:11As a dog that returns to his vomit, So is a fool who repeats his folly.

Pro 26:12

Pro 26:12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Pro 26:13

Pro 26:13The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!"

Pro 26:14

Pro 26:14As the door turns on its hinges, So does the sluggard on his bed.

Pro 26:15

Pro 26:15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

Pro 26:16

Pro 26:16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who answer with discretion.

Pro 26:17

Pro 26:17Like one who grabs a dog's ears Is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

Pro 26:18

Pro 26:18Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,

Pro 26:19

Pro 26:19Is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "Am I not joking?"

Pro 26:20

Pro 26:20For lack of wood a fire goes out; Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

Pro 26:21

Pro 26:21As coals are to hot embers, And wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindling strife.

Pro 26:22

Pro 26:22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, They go down into the innermost parts.

Pro 26:23

Pro 26:23Like silver dross on an earthen vessel Are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.

Pro 26:24

Pro 26:24A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, But he harbors evil in his heart.

Pro 26:25

Pro 26:25When his speech is charming, don't believe him; For there are seven abominations in his heart:

Pro 26:26

Pro 26:26His malice may be concealed by deception, But his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

Pro 26:27

Pro 26:27Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

Pro 26:28

Pro 26:28A lying tongue hates those it hurts; And a flattering mouth works ruin.
