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.
