Proverbs, Chapter 26

1 So honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest,
2 Like a sparrow in itsa Lit wanderingflitting, like a swallow in its flying,
So a curse without cause does notb Lit comealight.
3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the back of fools.
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Or you will also be like him.
5 Answer a fool as his folly deserves,
That he not be wise in his own eyes.
6 He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence
Who sends a message by the hand of a fool.
7 Like the legs whichc Lit hang down fromare useless to the lame,
So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Liked Lit the binding ofone who binds a stone in a sling,
So is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn whiche Lit goes upfalls into the hand of a drunkard,
So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 f Or A master workman produces all things, But he who hires a fool is like one who hires those who pass byLike an archer who wounds everyone,
So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.
11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit
Is a fool who repeatsg Lit with hishis folly.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
A lion ish Lit withinin the open square!”
14 As the door turns on its hinges,
So does the sluggard on his bed.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who cani Lit return discreetlygive a discreet answer.
17 Like one who takes a dog by the ears
Is he who passes by andj Lit infuriates himselfmeddles with strife not belonging to him.
18 Like a madman who throws
Firebrands, arrows and death,
19 So is the man who deceives his neighbor,
And says, “Was I not joking?”
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.
21 Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into thek Lit chambers of the bellyinnermost parts of the body.
23 Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24 He who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he lays up deceit in hisl Lit inward partheart.
25 Whenm Lit his voice is gracioushe speaks graciously, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred covers itself with guile,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27 He who digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28 A lying tongue hatesn Lit its crushed onesthose it crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
