Proverbs 26:1-12

1As snowH7950 in summerH7019, and as rainH4306 in harvestH7105, SoH3651 honorH3519 is not seemly for a foolH3684.2As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallowH1866 in her flying, So the curseH7045 that is causeless alighteth not.3A whipH7752 for the horseH5483, a bridleH4964 for the ass, And a rodH7626 for the back of foolsH3684.4AnswerH6030 not a foolH3684 according to his follyH200, LestH6435 thou alsoH1571 be like unto him.5AnswerH6030 a foolH3684 according to his follyH200, LestH6435 he beH1961 wiseH2450 in his own conceit.6He that sendeth a message by the handH3027 of a foolH3684 Cutteth off his own feetH7272, and drinketh in damage.7The legsH7785 of the lameH6455 hangH1809 loose; So is a parableH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684.8As one that bindeth a stoneH68 in a sling, SoH3651 is he that giveth honorH3519 to a foolH3684.9Asa thornH2336 that goeth up into the handH3027 of a drunkardH7910, So is a parableH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684.10As an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a foolH3684 and he that hireth them that passH5674 by.11As a dogH3611 that returneth to his vomitH6892, So isa foolH3684 that repeateth his follyH200.12Seest thou a manH376 wiseH2450 in his own conceit? There is moreH4480 hopeH8615 of a foolH3684 than of him.
