< Proverbs 26 >

1 Like snow - in the summer and like rain at the harvest so not [is] suitable for a fool honor. 2 Like bird for fluttering like swallow for flying so a curse without cause (to him *QK) it will come. 3 A whip for horse a bridle for a donkey and a rod for [the] back of fools. 4 May not you answer a fool according to foolishness his lest you should become like him also you. 5 Answer a fool according to foolishness his lest he should be wise in own eyes his. 6 [one who] cuts off Feet violence [one who] drinks [one who] sends words by [the] hand of a fool. 7 They hang down legs from a lame [person] and a proverb in [the] mouth of fools. 8 As ties a stone in a sling so [one who] gives to a fool honor. 9 Thorn[s] it goes up in [the] hand of a drunkard and a proverb in [the] mouth of fools. 10 An archer [who] wounds everyone and [one who] hires a fool and [one who] hires [those who] pass by. 11 Like a dog [which] returns to own vomit its a fool [who] repeats foolishness his. 12 You see a person wise in own eyes his hope [belongs] to a fool more than him. 13 He says a sluggard a lion [is] in the road a lion [is] between the open places. 14 The door it turns on hinge[s] its and a sluggard on bed his. 15 He hides a sluggard hand his in the dish he is weary to bring back it to mouth his. 16 [is] wise A sluggard in own eyes his more than seven [people] [who] bring back discernment. 17 [one who] takes hold On [the] ears of a dog a passer by [who] becomes angry on a dispute [which] not [belongs] to him. 18 Like a madman who throws burning arrows arrows and death. 19 So a person [who] he deceives neighbor his and he says ¿ not jesting [was] I. 20 With not wood it is extinguished a fire and with not a slanderer it becomes quiet strife. 21 Charcoal to burning coals and wood to fire and a person of (contentions *QK) to kindling strife. 22 [the] words of A slanderer [are] like delicacies and they they go down [the] chambers of [the] belly. 23 Silver of dross overlaid on earthenware lips burning and a heart of evil. 24 (With lips his *QK) he disguises himself [one who] hates and in inner being his he puts deceit. 25 If he will make favorable voice his may not you trust in him for seven abominations [are] in heart his. 26 It covers itself hatred with deception it will be revealed wickedness his in [the] assembly. 27 [one who] digs A pit in it he will fall and [one who] rolls a stone to him it will return. 28 A tongue of falsehood it hates crushed [people] its and a mouth flattering it makes stumbling.
