Proverbs - Chapter: 26


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	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.
