1As snowH7950 in summerH7019, and as rainH4306 in harvestH7105, soH3651 honour beseemeth not a foolH3684.

2As the sparrow for flitting about, as the swallowH1866 for flying, so a curseH7045 undeserved shall not comeH935.

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 eyesH5869.

6He that sendeth a message by the handH3027 of a foolH3684 cutteth off [his own] feetH7272, [and] drinketh damage.

7The legsH7785 of the lameH6455 hangH1809 loose; so is a proverbH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684.

8As a bag of gems in a stoneheap, soH3651 is he that giveth honour to a foolH3684.

9[As] a thornH2336 goeth up into the handH3027 of a drunkardH7910, so is a proverbH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684.

10A master roughly worketh every one: he both hireth the foolH3684 and hireth passers-by.

11As a dogH3611 turneth backH7725 to its vomitH6892, [so] a foolH3684 repeateth his follyH200.

12Hast thou seenH7200 a manH376 wiseH2450 in his own eyesH5869? There is moreH4480 hopeH8615 of a foolH3684 than of him.
