American Standard Version
Proverbs 26:3-12
3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass,And a rod for the back of fools.4Answer not a fool according to his folly,Lest thou also be like unto him.5Answer a fool according to his folly,Lest he be wise in his own conceit.6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foolCutteth off his own feet, and drinketh in damage.7The legs of the lame hang loose;So is a parable in the mouth of fools.8As one that bindeth a stone in a sling,So is he that giveth honor to a fool.9Asa thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard,So is a parable in the mouth of fools.10As an archer that woundeth all,So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.11As a dog that returneth to his vomit,So isa fool that repeateth his folly.12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?There is more hope of a fool than of him.
