Proverbs 26:21
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
As snow in
summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
4
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet,
and
drinketh damage.
7
The legs of the lame are not equal: so
is
a parable in the mouth of fools.
8
As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so
is
he that giveth honour to a fool.
9
As
a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so
is
a parable in the mouth of fools.
10
The great
God
that formed all
things
both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11
As a dog returneth to his vomit,
so
a fool returneth to his folly.
12
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
there is
more hope of a fool than of him.
13
The slothful
man
saith,
There is
a lion in the way; a lion
is
in the streets.
14
As
the door turneth upon his hinges, so
doth
the slothful upon his bed.
15
The slothful hideth his hand in
his
bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16
The sluggard
is
wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17
He that passeth by,
and
meddleth with strife
belonging
not to him,
is like
one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18
As a mad
man
who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19
So
is
the man
that
deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20
Where no wood is,
there
the fire goeth out: so where
there is
no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
As
coals
are
to burning coals, and wood to fire; so
is
a contentious man to kindle strife.
22
The words of a talebearer
are
as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23
Burning lips and a wicked heart
are like
a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for
there are
seven abominations in his heart.
26
Whose
hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the
whole
congregation.
27
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28
A lying tongue hateth
those that are
afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
