2.5 KiB
Chapter 26
-
Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
-
Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight.
-
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.
-
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.
-
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
-
Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
-
Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
-
Like one who binds the stone in the sling is one who gives honor to a fool.
-
Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
-
Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.
-
Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly.
-
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
-
The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!"
-
As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.
-
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
-
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly.
-
Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
-
Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death
-
is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"
-
For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
-
As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
-
The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
-
Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.
-
Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;
-
when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart;
-
though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
-
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
-
A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
