1
Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
2
Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse without cause shall not alight.
3
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, a rod is for the back of a fool.
4
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
5
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6
He who sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his feet and drinks violence.
7
Like the legs of the lame that hang limp, so is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
8
Like he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
9
Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard, is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10
Like an archer who wounds all so is he who hires the fool or the passerby.
11
Like a dog that returns to its vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.
12
Do you see a man who is 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! There is a lion in the streets!”
14
As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.
15
The sluggard hides his hand in his dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who render a reason.
17
Like he who takes a passing dog by the ears, is one who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18
Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
19
so is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says, “I am only joking!”
20
Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
21
As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22
The words of a slanderer are like tasty morsels; they go down into the innermost parts of the heart.
23
Like the silver of dross covering an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent woman with an evil heart.
24
He who hates disguises it with his lips, and within his heart, he harbors deceit;
25
when his speech is gracious, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart;
26
though his hatred is covered by guile, his wickedness will be exposed before the congregation.
27
He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone, it will roll back on him.
28
A lying tongue hates those that are crushed by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
