Proverbs 26

1
Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.
2
Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, So a curse without cause does not alight.
3
A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools.
4
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him.
5
Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes.
6
He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence Who sends a message by the hand of a fool.
7
Like the legs which are useless to the lame, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8
Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.
9
Like a thorn which falls into the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10
Like an archer who wounds everyone, So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.
11
Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly.
12
Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13
The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square!'
14
As the door turns on its hinges, So does the sluggard on his bed.
15
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
16
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.
17
Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him.
18
Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death,
19
So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, " Was I not joking?'
20
For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.
21
Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22
The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
23
Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24
He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart.
25
When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart.
26
Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27
He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28
A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin. 27

Proverbs 27

1
Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
2
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.
3
A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.
4
Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, But who can stand before jealousy?
5
Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed.
6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
7
A sated man loathes honey, But to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet.
8
Like a bird that wanders from her nest, So is a man who wanders from his home.
9
Oil and perfume make the heart glad, So a man's counsel is sweet to his friend.
10
Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend, And do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
11
Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, That I may reply to him who reproaches me.
12
A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, The naive proceed and pay the penalty.
13
Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger; And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.
14
He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be reckoned a curse to him.
15
A constant dripping on a day of steady rain And a contentious woman are alike;
16
He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand.
17
Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.
18
He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit, And he who cares for his master will be honored.
19
As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man.
20
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
21
The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.
22
Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
23
Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;
24
For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
25
When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26
The lambs will be for your clothing, And the goats will bring the price of a field,
27
And there will be goats' milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your maidens. 28
