Proverbs - Chapter: 26


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 mouth 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.


26:1	As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole.
26:2	As the sparowe by flying, and the swallow by flying escape, so the curse that is causeles, shall not come.
26:3	Vnto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a bridle, and a rod to the fooles backe.
26:4	Answer not a foole according to his foolishnes, least thou also be like him.
26:5	Answere a foole according to his foolishnes, least he be wise in his owne conceite.
26:6	He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, is as he that cutteth off the feete, and drinketh iniquitie.
26:7	As they that lift vp the legs of the lame, so is a parable in a fooles mouth.
26:8	As the closing vp of a precious stone in an heape of stones, so is he that giueth glory to a foole.
26:9	As a thorne standing vp in the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fooles.
26:10	The excellent that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole and rewardeth the transgressers.
26:11	As a dog turneth againe to his owne vomit, so a foole turneth to his foolishnes.
26:12	Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him.
26:13	The slouthfull man sayth, A lyon is in the way: a lyon is in the streetes.
26:14	As the doore turneth vpon his hinges, so doeth the slouthfull man vpon his bed.
26:15	The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe to his mouth.
26:16	The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason.
26:17	He that passeth by and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto him, is as one that taketh a dog by the eares.
26:18	As he that faineth himselfe mad, casteth fire brands, arrowes, and mortall things,
26:19	So dealeth the deceitfull man with his friend and sayth, Am not I in sport?
26:20	Without wood the fire is quenched, and without a talebearer strife ceaseth.
26:21	As ye cole maketh burning coles, and wood a fire, so the contentious man is apt to kindle strife.
26:22	The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
26:23	As siluer drosse ouerlayde vpon a potsheard, so are burning lips, and an euill heart.
26:24	He that hateth, will counterfaite with his lips, but in his heart he layeth vp deceite.
26:25	Though he speake fauourably, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart.
26:26	Hatred may be couered by deceite: but the malice thereof shall be discouered in the congregation.
26:27	He that diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it shall returne vnto him.
26:28	A false tongue hateth the afflicted, and a flattering mouth causeth ruine.
