CHAP. XXVI.
1 As snow in summer, and
rain in harvest: so glory
is not seemly for a fool.
2 noteAs a bird flying to
other places, and a sparrow
going here or there: so a curse
uttered without cause shall
come upon a man.
3 A whip for a horse, and
a snaffle for an ass, and a rod
for the back of fools.
4 noteAnswer not a fool
according to his folly, lest thou
be made like him.
5 Answer a fool according
to his folly, lest he imagine
himself to be wise.
6 He that sendeth words
by a foolish messenger, is lame
of feet and drinketh iniquity.
7 As a lame man hath fair
legs in vain: so a parable is
unseemly in the mouth of
fools.
8 As he that casteth a
stone into the heap of mercury:
so is he that giveth honour
to a fool.
9 As if a thorn should grow in
the hand of a drunkard: so is a
parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Judgment determineth
causes: and he that putteth a
fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
11 As a dog that returneth
to his vomit, so is the fool
that repeateth his folly.
12 Hast thou seen a man
wise in his own conceit? There
shall be more hope of a fool
than of him.
13 The slothful man saith:
There is a lion in the way, and
a lioness in the roads.
14 As the door turneth
upon its hinges, so doth the
slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his
hand under his arm-pit, and
it grieveth him to turn it to
his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in
his own conceit, than seven
men that speak sentences.
17 As he that taketh a dog
by the ears, so is he that passeth
by in anger, and meddleth
with another man's quarrel.
18 As he is guilty that
shooteth arrows, and lances
unto death:
19 So is the man, that
hurteth his friend deceitfully:
and when he is taken, saith:
I did it in jest.
-- --
20 When the wood faileth,
the fire shall go out: and when
the tale-bearer is taken away,
contentions shall cease.
21 As coals are to burning
coals, and wood to fire, so
an angryman stirreth up strife.
22 The words of a tale-bearer
are as it were simple,
but they reach to the innermost
parts of the belly.
23 Swelling lips joined
with a corrupt heart, are like
an earthen vessel adorned with
silver dross.
24 An enemy is known by
his lips, when in his heart he
entertaineth deceit.
25 When he shall speak
low, trust him not: because
there are seven mischiefs in
his heart.
26 He that covereth hatred
deceitfully, his malice shall
be laid open in the publick
assembly.
27 He that diggeth a pit,
shall fall into it: and he that
rolleth a stone, it shall return
to him.
28 A deceitful tongue loveth
not truth: and a slippery
mouth worketh ruin.
