Proverbs 26 Text (WEB)
|
- Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
- Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.
- A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!
- Don't answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
- Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
- One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
- Like the legs of the lame that hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
- Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.
- As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.
- Do you see a man 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! A fierce lion roams the streets!"
- As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.
- The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
- The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
- Like one who grabs a dog's ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
- Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,
- is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "Am I not joking?"
- For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
- As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
- The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
- Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
- A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.
- When his speech is charming, don't believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart.
- His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
- Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
- A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

Proverbs 26 Text (Hebrew)
|
- כשלג בקיץ וכמטר בקציר כן לא־נאוה לכסיל כבוד׃
- כצפור לנוד כדרור לעוף כן קללת חנם תבא׃
- שוט לסוס מתג לחמור ושבט לגו כסילים׃
- אל־תען כסיל כאולתו פן־תשוה־לו גם־אתה׃
- ענה כסיל כאולתו פן־יהיה חכם בעיניו׃
- מקצה רגלים חמס שתה שלח דברים ביד־כסיל׃
- דליו שקימ מפסח ומשל בפי כסילים׃
- כצרור אבן במרגמה כן־נותן לכסיל כבוד׃
- חוח עלה ביד־שכור ומשל בפי כסילים׃
- רב מחולל־כל ושכר כסיל ושכר עברים׃
- ככלב שב על־קאו כסיל שונה באולתו׃
- ראית איש חכם בעיניו תקוה לכסיל ממנו׃
- אמר עצל שחל בדרך ארי בין הרחבות׃
- הדלת תסוב על־צירה ועצל על־מטתו׃
- טמן עצל ידו בצלחת נלאה להשיבה אל־פיו׃
- חכם עצל בעיניו משבעה משיבי טעם׃
- מחזיק באזני־כלב עבר מתעבר על־ריב לא־לו׃
- כמתלהלה הירה זקים חצים ומות׃
- כן־איש רמה את־רעהו ואמר הלא־משחק אני׃
- באפס עצים תכבה־אש ובאין נרגן ישתק מדון׃
- פחם לגחלים ועצים לאש ואיש לחרחר־ריב׃ ף
- דברי נרגן כמתלהמים והם ירדו חדרי־בטן׃
- כסף סיגים מצפה על־חרש שפתים דלקים ולב־רע׃
- ינכר שונא ובקרבו ישית מרמה׃
- כי־יחןן קולו אל־תאמן־בו כי שבע תועבות בלבו׃
- תכסה שנאה במשאון תגלה רעתו בקהל׃
- כרה־שחת בה יפל וגלל אבן אליו תשוב׃
- לשון־שקר ישנא דכיו ופה חלק יעשה מדחה׃

Proverbs 26 Text (Latin)
|
- Quomodo nix in æstate, et pluviæ in messe, sic indecens est stulto gloria.
- Sicut avis ad alia transvolans et passer quolibet vadens, sic maledictum frustra prolatum in quempiam superveniet.
- Flagellum equo, et camus asino, et virga in dorso imprudentium.
- Ne respondeas stulto juxta stultitiam suam, ne efficiaris ei similis.
- Responde stulto juxta stultitiam suam, ne sibi sapiens esse videatur.
- Claudus pedibus, et iniquitatem bibens, qui mittit verba per nuntium stultum.
- Quomodo pulchras frustra habet claudus tibias, sic indecens est in ore stultorum parabola.
- Sicut qui mittit lapidem in acervum Mercurii, ita qui tribuit insipienti honorem.
- Quomodo si spina nascatur in manu temulenti, sic parabola in ore stultorum.
- Judicium determinat causas, et qui imponit stulto silentium iras mitigat.
- Sicut canis qui revertitur ad vomitum suum, sic imprudens qui iterat stultitiam suam.
- Vidisti hominem sapientem sibi videri ? magis illo spem habebit insipiens.
- Dicit piger : Leo est in via, et leæna in itineribus.
- Sicut ostium vertitur in cardine suo, ita piger in lectulo suo.
- Abscondit piger manum sub ascela sua, et laborat si ad os suum eam converterit.
- Sapientior sibi piger videtur septem viris loquentibus sententias.
- Sicut qui apprehendit auribus canem, sic qui transit impatiens et commiscetur rixæ alterius.
- Sicut noxius est qui mittit sagittas et lanceas in mortem,
- ita vir fraudulenter nocet amico suo, et cum fuerit deprehensus dicit : Ludens feci.
- Cum defecerint ligna extinguetur ignis, et susurrone subtracto, jurgia conquiescent.
- Sicut carbones ad prunas, et ligna ad ignem, sic homo iracundus suscitat rixas.
- Verba susurronis quasi simplicia, et ipsa perveniunt ad intima ventris.
- Quomodo si argento sordido ornare velis vas fictile, sic labia tumentia cum pessimo corde sociata.
- Labiis suis intelligitur inimicus, cum in corde tractaverit dolos.
- Quando submiserit vocem suam, ne credideris ei, quoniam septem nequitiæ sunt in corde illius.
- Qui operit odium fraudulenter, revelabitur malitia ejus in consilio.
- Qui fodit foveam incidet in eam, et qui volvit lapidem, revertetur ad eum.
- Lingua fallax non amat veritatem, et os lubricum operatur ruinas.

Proverbs 26 Text (KJV)
|
- As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
- As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
- A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
- Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
- Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
- He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
- The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
- As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
- As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
- Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
- The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
- As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
- The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
- The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
- He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
- As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
- So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
- Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
- As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
- The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
- Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
- He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
- When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
- Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
- Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
- A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
