Proverbs 26

so honor is not fitting for a fool.

so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

and a rod for the back of fools!

lest you also be like him.

lest he be wise in his own eyes.

is cutting off feet and drinking violence.

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

so is he who gives honor to a fool.

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

or he who hires those who pass by.

so is a fool who repeats his folly.

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

A fierce lion roams the streets!”

so does the sluggard on his bed.

He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

than seven men who answer with discretion.

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?”

Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

they go down into the innermost parts.

are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.

but he harbors evil in his heart.

for there are seven abominations in his heart.

but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

and a flattering mouth works ruin.
