Proverbs 26

1 ♥ 📝 A s snow^H7950 in summer^H7019, and as rain^H4306 in harvest^H7105, so honour^H3519 is not seemly^H5000 for a fool^H3684.

2 ♥ 📝 As the bird^H6833 by wandering^H5110H8800, as the swallow^H1866 by flying^H5774H8800, so the curse^H7045 causeless^H2600 shall not come^H935H8799.

3 ♥ 📝 A whip^H7752 for the horse^H5483, a bridle^H4964 for the ass^H2543, and a rod^H7626 for the fool's^H3684 back^H1460.

4 ♥ 📝 Answer^H6030H8799 not a fool^H3684 according to his folly^H200, lest thou also be like^H7737H8799 unto him.

5 ♥ 📝 Answer^H6030H8798 a fool^H3684 according to his folly^H200, lest he be wise^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869.

6 ♥ 📝 He that sendeth^H7971H8802 a message^H1697 by the hand^H3027 of a fool^H3684 cutteth off^H7096H8764 the feet^H7272, and drinketh^H8354H8802 damage^H2555.

7 ♥ 📝 The legs^H7785 of the lame^H6455 are not equal^H1809H8804: so is a parable^H4912 in the mouth^H6310 of fools^H3684.

8 ♥ 📝 As he that bindeth^{H6872H8675H6887H8800} a stone^H68 in a sling^H4773, so is he that giveth^H5414H8802 honour^H3519 to a fool^H3684.

9 ♥ 📝 As a thorn^H2336 goeth up^H5927H8804 into the hand^H3027 of a drunkard^H7910, so is a parable^H4912 in the mouth^H6310 of fools^H3684.

10 ♥ 📝 The great^H7227 God that formed^H2342H8789 all things both rewardeth^H7936H8802 the fool^H3684, and rewardeth^H7936H8802 transgressors^H5674H8802.

11 ♥ 📝 As a dog^H3611 returneth^H7725H8804 to his vomit^H6892, so a fool^H3684 returneth^H8138H8802 to his folly^H200.

12 ♥ 📝 Seest^H7200H8804 thou a man^H376 wise^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869? there is more hope^H8615 of a fool^H3684 than of him.

13 ♥ 📝 The slothful^H6102 man saith^H559H8804, There is a lion^H7826 in the way^H1870; a lion^H738 is in the streets^H7339.

14 ♥ 📝 As the door^H1817 turneth^H5437H8735 upon his hinges^H6735, so doth the slothful^H6102 upon his bed^H4296.

15 ♥ 📝 The slothful^H6102 hideth^H2934H8804 his hand^H3027 in his bosom^H6747; it grieveth^H3811H8738 him to bring it again^H7725H8687 to his mouth^H6310.

16 ♥ 📝 The sluggard^H6102 is wiser^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869 than seven men^H7651 that can render^H7725H8688 a reason^H2940.

17 ♥ 📝 He that passeth by^H5674H8802, and meddleth^H5674H8693 with strife^H7379 belonging not to him, is like one that taketh^H2388H8688 a dog^H3611 by the ears^H241.

18 ♥ 📝 As a mad^H3856H8700 man who casteth^H3384H8802 firebrands^H2131, arrows^H2671, and death^H4194,

19 ♥ 📝 So is the man^H376 that deceiveth^H7411H8765 his neighbour^H7453, and saith^H559H8804, Am not I in sport^H7832H8764?

20 ♥ 📝 Where no^H657 wood^H6086 is, there the fire^H784 goeth out^H3518H8799: so where there is no talebearer^H5372, the strife^H4066 ceaseth^H8367H8799.

21 ♥ 📝 As coals^H6352 are to burning coals^H1513, and wood^H6086 to fire^H784; so is a contentious^{H4079H8675H4066} man^H376 to kindle^H2787H8771 strife^H7379.

22 ♥ 📝 The words^H1697 of a talebearer^H5372 are as wounds^H3859H8693, and they go down^H3381H8804 into the innermost parts^H2315 of the belly^H990.

23 ♥ 📝 Burning^H1814H8801 lips^H8193 and a wicked^H7451 heart^H3820 are like a potsherd^H2789 covered^H6823H8794 with silver^H3701 dross^H5509.

24 ♥ 📝 He that hateth^H8130H8802 dissembleth^H5234H8735 with his lips^H8193, and layeth up^H7896H8799 deceit^H4820 within^H7130 him;

25 ♥ 📝 When he speaketh^H6963 fair^H2603H8762, believe^H539H8686 him not: for there are seven^H7651 abominations^H8441 in his heart^H3820.

26 ♥ 📝 Whose hatred^H8135 is covered^H3680H8691 by deceit^H4860, his wickedness^H7451 shall be shewed^H1540H8735 before the whole congregation^H6951.

27 ♥ 📝 Whoso diggeth^H3738H8802 a pit^H7845 shall fall^H5307H8799 therein: and he that rolleth^H1556H8802 a stone^H68, it will return^H7725H8799 upon him.

28 ♥ 📝 A lying^H8267 tongue^H3956 hateth^H8130H8799 those that are afflicted^H1790 by it; and a flattering^H2509 mouth^H6310 worketh^H6213H8799 ruin^H4072.
