[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

PROV 26:1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.
PROV 26:2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.
PROV 26:3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.
PROV 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou also be like unto him.
PROV 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.
PROV 26:6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool Cutteth off `his own' feet, `and' drinketh in damage.
PROV 26:7 The legs of the lame hang loose: So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
PROV 26:8 As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.
PROV 26:9 `As' a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
PROV 26:10 `As' an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.
PROV 26:11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, `So is' a fool that repeateth his folly.
PROV 26:12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
PROV 26:13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.
PROV 26:14 `As' the door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
PROV 26:15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.
PROV 26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason.
PROV 26:17 He that passeth by, `and' vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, Is `like' one that taketh a dog by the ears.
PROV 26:18 As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death,
PROV 26:19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, Am not I in sport?
PROV 26:20 For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
PROV 26:21 `As' coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.
PROV 26:22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
PROV 26:23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart Are `like' an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
PROV 26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips; But he layeth up deceit within him:
PROV 26:25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not; For there are seven abominations in his heart:
PROV 26:26 Though `his' hatred cover itself with guile, His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.
PROV 26:27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; And he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
PROV 26:28 A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
