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