Proverbs - Chapter: 26


26:1	Like as snowe is not mete in sommer, ner rayne in haruest, euen so is worshipe vnsemely for a foole.
26:2	Lyke as the byrde & the swalowe take theyr flyght & fle here & there, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shall not lyght vpon a man.
26:3	Unto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, & a rodde to the fooles backe.
26:4	Geue not the foole an answere after his foolyshnesse, lest thou become lyke vnto him:
26:5	but make the foole an answere to his foolyshnesse, lest he be wyse in his awne conceate.
26:6	He is lame of his fete, yee droncken is he in vanyte, that committeth eny message to a foole.
26:7	Lyke as in a lame man his legges ar not equall, euen so is a parable in the fooles mouth.
26:8	He that setteth a foole in hie dignite, that is euen as yf a man put a stone in a slynge.
26:9	A parable in a fooles mouth is lyke a thorne that prycketh a droncken man in the hande.
26:10	A man of experience discerneth all thinges wel: but he that putteth the fole to silence endeth the stryfe.
26:11	Lyke as the dogg turneth agayne to his vomyte, euen so a foole beginneth hys folyshnesse agayne a fresh.
26:12	If thou seest a man that is wyse in his awne conceate, there is more hope in a foole then in hym.
26:13	The slouthfull sayeth: there is a lyon in the waye, & a lyon in the myddest of the stretes.
26:14	Lyke as the dore turneth aboute vpon the henges, euen so doth the slouthfull welter him selfe in his bedd.
26:15	The slouthfull body thrusteth his hande into hys bosome, and it greueth hym to put it agayne to his mouth.
26:16	The slogarde thinketh him selfe wyser, then seuen men that sytt & teach.
26:17	Who so goeth by & medleth wt other mens stryfe he is lyke one that taketh a dogge by the eares.
26:18	Lyke as a madd man that castith fyre brandes, and shoteth deadly arowes and dartes euen so doth a dissembler wt his neyghboure.
26:19	And then sayth he I dyd it but in sporte.
26:20	Where no wodd is, there the fyre goeth out: Euen so where the tale betrayer is taken awaye, there the strife ceaseth.
26:21	Coles kyndle heate, & wodd the fyre: euen so doth a brauling felowe stere vp variaunce.
26:22	A taleberars wordes are lyke men that stryke with hammers, but they pearse the inwarde partes of the body.
26:23	Uenymous lyppes and a wycked herte, are lyke a potsherde couered with syluer drosse.
26:24	And enemye shalbe knowen by his talkyng, & in the meane season he ymagyneth myschefe,
26:25	but when he speaketh fayre, beleue him not, for there are seuen abhominacions in his herte.
26:26	Who so kepeth euell will, secretly to do hurte, his malyce shalbe shewed before the whole congregacyon.
26:27	Who so dyggeth vp a pytt, shall fall therin: & he that weltreth a stone, shall stomble vpon it him selfe.
26:28	A dyssemblinge tonge hateth one that rebuketh hym, and a flatterynge mouth worcketh myschefe.


26:1	As snow in somer, and reyn in heruest; so glorie is vnsemeli to a fool.
26:2	For whi as a brid fliynge ouer to hiy thingis, and a sparowe goynge in to vncerteyn; so cursing brouyt forth with out resonable cause schal come aboue in to sum man.
26:3	Beting to an hors, and a bernacle to an asse; and a yerde in the bak of vnprudent men.
26:4	Answere thou not to a fool bi his foli, lest thou be maad lijk hym.
26:5	Answere thou a fool bi his fooli, lest he seme to him silf to be wijs.
26:6	An haltinge man in feet, and drinkinge wickidnesse, he that sendith wordis by a fonned messanger.
26:7	As an haltinge man hath faire leggis in veyn; so a parable is vnsemeli in the mouth of foolis.
26:8	As he that casteth a stoon in to an heep of mercurie; so he that yyueth onour to an vnwijs man.
26:9	As if a thorn growith in the hond of a drunkun man; so a parable in the mouth of foolis.
26:10	Doom determyneth causis; and he that settith silence to a fool, swagith iris.
26:11	As a dogge that turneth ayen to his spuyng; so is an vnprudent man, that rehersith his fooli.
26:12	Thou hast seyn a man seme wijs to hym silf; an vnkunnyng man schal haue hope more than he.
26:13	A slow man seith, A lioun is in the weie, a liounnesse is in the foot pathis.
26:14	As a dore is turned in his hengis; so a slow man in his bed.
26:15	A slow man hidith hise hondis vndur his armpit; and he trauelith, if he turneth tho to his mouth.
26:16	A slow man semeth wysere to hym silf, than seuene men spekynge sentensis.
26:17	As he that takith a dogge bi the eeris; so he that passith, and is vnpacient, and is meddlid with the chiding of anothir man.
26:18	As he is gilti, that sendith speris and arowis in to deth;
26:19	so a man that anoieth gilefuli his frend, and whanne he is takun, he schal seie, Y dide pleiynge.
26:20	Whanne trees failen, the fier schal be quenchid; and whanne a priuy bacbitere is withdrawun, stryues resten.
26:21	As deed coolis at quic coolis, and trees at the fier; so a wrathful man reisith chidyngis.
26:22	The wordis of a pryuei bacbitere ben as symple; and tho comen til to the ynneste thingis of the herte.
26:23	As if thou wolt ourne a vessel of erthe with foul siluer; so ben bolnynge lippis felouschipid with `the werste herte.
26:24	An enemy is vndirstondun bi hise lippis, whanne he tretith giles in the herte.
26:25	Whanne he `makith low his vois, bileue thou not to hym; for seuene wickidnessis ben in his herte.
26:26	The malice of hym that hilith hatrede gilefuli, schal be schewid in a counsel.
26:27	He that delueth a diche, schal falle in to it; and if a man walewith a stoon, it schal turne ayen to hym.
26:28	A fals tunge loueth not treuth; and a slidir mouth worchith fallyngis.


26:1	Like as snowe is not mete in sommer, ner rayne in haruest: euen so is worshipe vnsemely for a foole.
26:2	Like as ye byrde and the swalowe take their flight and fle here and there, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shal not light vpon a man.
26:3	Vnto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, and a rodde to the fooles backe.
26:4	Geue not the foole an answere after his foolishnesse, lest thou become like vnto him:
26:5	but make ye foole an answere to his foolishnesse, lest he be wyse in his owne coceate.
26:6	He is lame of his fete, yee droncken is he in vanite, that comitteth eny thinge to a foole.
26:7	Like as it is an vnsemely thige to haue legges & yet to halte, eue so is a parable in ye fooles mouth.
26:8	He yt setteth a foole in hye dignite, yt is eue as yf a man dyd cast a precious stone vpo ye galous.
26:9	A parable in a fooles mouth, is like a thorne yt pricketh a droncken man in ye hande.
26:10	A man of experience discerneth all thinges well, but whoso hyreth a foole, hyreth soch one as wyl take no hede.
26:11	Like as the dogg turneth agayne to his vomite, euen so a foole begynneth his foolishnesse agayne afresh.
26:12	Yf thou seyest a man yt is wyse in his owne conceate, there is more hope in a foole then in hi.
26:13	The slouthfull sayeth: there is a leoparde in ye waye, and a lyon in ye myddest of the stretes.
26:14	Like as the dore turneth aboute vpon the tresholde, euen so doth the slouthfull welter himself in his bedd.
26:15	The slouthfull body thrusteth his hode in to his bosome, and it greueth him to put it agayne to his mouth.
26:16	The slogarde thinketh him self wyser, then vij. men that sytt and teach.
26:17	Who so goeth by and medleth with other mens strife, he is like one yt taketh a dogg by ye eares.
26:18	Like as one shuteth deadly arowes and dartes out of a preuy place, euen so doth a dyssembler with his neghboure,
26:19	And then sayeth he: I dyd it but in sporte.
26:20	Where no wodd is, there the fyre goeth out: and where the bacbyter is taken awaye, there the strife ceaseth.
26:21	Coles kyndle heate, and wodd ye fyre: euen so doth a braulinge felowe stere vp variaunce.
26:22	A slaunderers wordes are like flatery, but they pearse ye inwarde partes of ye body.
26:23	Venymous lippes & a wicked herte, are like a potsherde couered wt syluer drosse.
26:24	An enemie dyssembleth with his lippes, and in the meane season he ymagineth myschefe:
26:25	but wha he speaketh fayre, beleue him not, for there are seuen abhominacios in his herte.
26:26	Who so kepeth euell will secretly to do hurte, his malyce shalbe shewed before the whole congregacion.
26:27	Who so dyggeth vp a pytt, shal fal therin: and he yt weltreth a stone, shal stomble vpon it hymselfe.
