26:1 As snow in summer, and as rain in
harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not
come.
26:3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
26:6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh
damage.
26:7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
26:8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
26:9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of
fools.
26:10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth
transgressors.
26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
26:12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
26:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
26:14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
26:15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his
mouth.
26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
26:17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that
taketh a dog by the ears.
26:18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
26:19 So is the man that deceiveth his
neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the
strife ceaseth.
26:21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle
strife.
26:22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts
of the belly.
26:23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
26:25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not:
for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26:26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole
congregation.
26:27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return
upon him.
26:28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh
ruin.
