Proverbs 26:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like a fluttering bird or like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause does not come to rest.
3 A whip for the horse and a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you yourself also be like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own estimation.
6 Like cutting off the feet or drinking violence, so is sending a message by the hand of a fool.
7 Like legs that hang limp from the lame, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like tying a stone in a sling, so is giving honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10 Like an archer who wounds at random, so is the one who hires a fool or hires any passer-by.
11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit, so a fool 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 in the streets!"
14 Like a door that turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15 The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own estimation than seven people who respond with good sense.
17 Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.
18 Like a madman who shoots firebrands and deadly arrows,
19 so is a person who deceives his neighbor, and says, "Was I not only joking?"
20 Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.
21 Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.
22 The words of a gossip are like delicious morsels; they go down into a person's innermost being.
23 Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24 The one who hates others disguises it with his lips, but he stores up deceit within him.
25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations within him.
26 Though his hatred may be concealed by deceit, his evil will be uncovered in the assembly.
27 The one who digs a pit will fall into it; the one who rolls a stone� it will come back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those crushed by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
1 As snow H7950 in summer, H7019 and as rain H4306 in harvest, H7105 so H3651 honor H3519 is not H3808 seemly H5000 for a fool. H3684
2 As the bird H6833 by wandering, H5110 as the swallow H1866 by flying, H5774 so H3651 the curse H7045 causeless H2600 shall not H3808 come. H935
3 A whip H7752 for the horse, H5483 a bridle H4964 for the ass, H2543 and a rod H7626 for the fool's H3684 back. H1460
4 Answer H6030 not H408 a fool H3684 according to his folly, H200 lest H6435 thou H859 also H1571 be like H7737 unto him.
5 Answer H6030 a fool H3684 according to his folly, H200 lest H6435 he be H1961 wise H2450 in his own conceit. H5869
6 He that sendeth H7971 a message H1697 by the hand H3027 of a fool H3684 cutteth off H7096 the feet, H7272 and drinketh H8354 damage. H2555
7 The legs H7785 of the lame H4480 H6455 are not equal: H1809 so is a parable H4912 in the mouth H6310 of fools. H3684
8 As he that bindeth H6887 a stone H68 in a sling, H4773 so H3651 is he that giveth H5414 honor H3519 to a fool. H3684
9 As a thorn H2336 goeth up H5927 into the hand H3027 of a drunkard, H7910 so is a parable H4912 in the mouth H6310 of fools. H3684
10 The great H7227 God that formed H2342 all H3605 things both rewardeth H7936 the fool, H3684 and rewardeth H7936 transgressors. H5674
11 As a dog H3611 returneth H7725 to H5921 his vomit, H6892 so a fool H3684 returneth H8138 to his folly. H200
12 Seest H7200 thou a man H376 wise H2450 in his own conceit H5869 ? there is more hope H8615 of a fool H3684 than of H4480 him.
13 The slothful H6102 man saith, H559 There is a lion H7826 in the way; H1870 a lion H738 is in H996 the streets. H7339
14 As the door H1817 turneth H5437 upon H5921 his hinges, H6735 so doth the slothful H6102 upon H5921 his bed. H4296
15 The slothful H6102 hideth H2934 his hand H3027 in his bosom; H6747 it grieveth H3811 him to bring it again H7725 to H413 his mouth. H6310
16 The sluggard H6102 is wiser H2450 in his own conceit H5869 than seven H4480 H7651 men that can render H7725 a reason. H2940
17 He that passeth by, H5674 and meddleth H5674 with H5921 strife H7379 belonging not H3808 to him, is like one that taketh H2388 a dog H3611 by the ears. H241
18 As a mad H3856 man who casteth H3384 firebrands, H2131 arrows, H2671 and death, H4194
19 So H3651 is the man H376 that deceiveth H7411 H853 his neighbor, H7453 and saith, H559 Am not H3808 I H589 in sport H7832 ?
20 Where no H657 wood H6086 is, there the fire H784 goeth out: H3518 so where there is no H369 talebearer, H5372 the strife H4066 ceaseth. H8367
21 As coals H6352 are to burning coals, H1513 and wood H6086 to fire; H784 so is a contentious H4079 man H376 to kindle H2787 strife. H7379
22 The words H1697 of a talebearer H5372 are as wounds, H3859 and they H1992 go down H3381 into the innermost parts H2315 of the belly. H990
23 Burning H1814 lips H8193 and a wicked H7451 heart H3820 are like a potsherd H2789 covered H6823 with silver H3701 dross. H5509
24 He that hateth H8130 dissembleth H5234 with his lips, H8193 and layeth up H7896 deceit H4820 within H7130 him;
25 When H3588 he speaketh H6963 fair, H2603 believe H539 him not: H408 for H3588 there are seven H7651 abominations H8441 in his heart. H3820
26 Whose hatred H8135 is covered H3680 by deceit, H4860 his wickedness H7451 shall be showed H1540 before the whole congregation. H6951
27 Whoso diggeth H3738 a pit H7845 shall fall H5307 therein : and he that rolleth H1556 a stone, H68 it will return H7725 upon H413 him.
28 A lying H8267 tongue H3956 hateth H8130 those that are afflicted H1790 by it ; and a flattering H2509 mouth H6310 worketh H6213 ruin. H4072
