Pro 26:1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not right for a fool.
\nPro 26:2 As the wandering bird, as the swallow in its flying, so the causeless curse shall never come.
\nPro 26:3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
\nPro 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his foolishness, lest you become like him, even you.
\nPro 26:5 Answer a fool according to his foolishness, that he not be wise in his own eyes.
\nPro 26:6 He that sends a message by a fool?s hand cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
\nPro 26:7 As the legs of the lame are weak, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
\nPro 26:8 As he binding a stone on a sling, so is he giving honor to a fool.
\nPro 26:9 As a thorn goes up into the drunkard?s hand, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
\nPro 26:10 Great is the Former of all things, but he who hires a fool is like one who hires those passing by.
\nPro 26:11 As a dog that returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.
\nPro 26:12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
\nPro 26:13 The lazy one says, A lion is in the way, a lion is between the streets!
\nPro 26:14 As the door turns on its hinge, so is the lazy one on his bed.
\nPro 26:15 The lazy one buries his hand in the dish; he is weary to bring it back to his mouth.
\nPro 26:16 The lazy one is wiser in his own eyes than seven that return a wise answer.
\nPro 26:17 One passing by, crossing himself over strife that is not his own, is like one who grabs a dog?s ears.
\nPro 26:18 As one feigning weakness, throwing sparks, arrows and death,
\nPro 26:19 so is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, Am I not joking?
\nPro 26:20 The fire goes out where there is no wood, so the strife ceases where there is no whisperer.
\nPro 26:21 As coal to burning embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
\nPro 26:22 The words of a whisperer are as delicacies, and they go down into the chambers of the heart.
\nPro 26:23 As with silver dross spread over an earthen vessel, so are burning lips and a wicked heart.
\nPro 26:24 He who hates, dissembles with his lips, for he lays up deceit in his inner being;
\nPro 26:25 when his voice is gracious, do not believe him, for he has seven hateful things in his heart.
\nPro 26:26 Though his hatred is covered by guile, his evil shall be revealed in the assembly.
\nPro 26:27 He who digs a pit shall fall into it, and he who rolls a stone shall have it turn back on him.
\nPro 26:28 A lying tongue hates the ones it crushes, and a flattering mouth works stumbling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
