Book 28 : KETUVIM - PROVERBS - Chapter 026

26:001

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool

26:002

As the wandering sparrow, as the flying swallow, so the curse that is causeless shall come home

26:003

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of fools

26:004

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him

26:005

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes

26:006

He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh damage

26:007

The legs hang limp from the lame; so is a parable in the mouth of fools

26:008

As a small stone in a heap of stones, so is he that giveth honour to a fool

26:009

As a thorn that cometh into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools

26:010

A master performeth all things; but he that stoppeth a fool is as one that stoppeth a flood

26:011

As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is a fool that repeateth his folly

26:012

Seest thou a man wise in his own eyes? there is more hope of a fool than of him

26:013

The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion in the way; yea, a lion is in the streets.

26:014

The door is turning upon its hinges, and the sluggard is still upon his bed

26:015

The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth him to bring it back to his mouth

26:016

The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men that give wise answer

26:017

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife not his own, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears

26:018

As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death

26:019

So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith: 'Am not I in sport?

26:020

Where no wood is, the fire goeth out; and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth

26:021

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife

26:022

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the body

26:023

Burning lips and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross

26:024

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him

26:025

When he speaketh fair, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart

26:026

Though his hatred be concealed with deceit, his wickedness shall be revealed before the congregation

26:027

Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him

26:028

A lying tongue hateth those that are crushed by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin
