1 As snow H7950 in summer H7019 , and as rain H4306 in harvest H7105 , so H3651 ADV honor H3519 is not H3808 NADV seemly H5000 for a fool H3684 .
2 As the bird H6833 KD-NMS by wandering H5110 , as the swallow H1866 by flying H5774 , so H3651 ADV the curse H7045 causeless H2600 ADV shall not H3808 NPAR come H935 .
3 A whip H7752 NMS for the horse H5483 LD-NMS , a bridle H4964 for the ass H2543 , and a rod H7626 for the fool H3684 \'s back H1460 .
4 Answer H6030 not H408 NPAR a fool H3684 NMS according to his folly H200 , lest H6435 thou H859 PPRO-2MS also H1571 CONJ be like H7737 unto him .
5 Answer H6030 a fool H3684 according to his folly H200 , lest H6435 CONJ he be H1961 VQY3MS wise H2450 AMS in his own conceit H5869 B-CMD-3MS .
6 He that sendeth H7971 a message H1697 NMP by the hand H3027 B-CFS of a fool H3684 cutteth off H7096 the feet H7272 , and drinketh H8354 VQPMS damage H2555 AMS .
7 The legs H7785 of the lame H6455 are not equal H1809 : so is a parable H4912 in the mouth H6310 B-CMS of fools H3684 .
8 As he that bindeth H6887 a stone H68 GFS in a sling H4773 , so H3651 ADV is he that giveth H5414 honor H3519 to a fool H3684 .
9 As a thorn H2336 NMS goeth up H5927 into the hand H3027 of a drunkard H7910 , so is a parable H4912 in the mouth H6310 B-CMS of fools H3684 .
10 The great H7227 AMS God that formed H2342 all H3605 NMS things both rewardeth H7936 the fool H3684 NMS , and rewardeth H7936 transgressors H5674 .
11 As a dog H3611 returneth H7725 VQQ3MS to H5921 PREP his vomit H6892 , so a fool H3684 NMS returneth H8138 to his folly H200 .
12 Seest H7200 VQQ2MS thou a man H376 NMS wise H2450 AMS in his own conceit H5869 B-GFS-3MS ? there is more hope H8615 NFS of a fool H3684 than of H4480 M-PREP-3MS him .
13 The slothful H6102 man saith H559 VQQ3MS , There is a lion H7826 in the way H1870 ; a lion H738 is in H996 PREP the streets H7339 .
14 As the door H1817 turneth H5437 upon H5921 PREP his hinges H6735 , so doth the slothful H6102 upon H5921 PREP his bed H4296 .
15 The slothful H6102 hideth H2934 his hand H3027 CFS-3MS in his bosom H6747 ; it grieveth H3811 him to bring it again H7725 to H413 PREP his mouth H6310 CMS-3MS .
16 The sluggard H6102 is wiser H2450 AMS in his own conceit H5869 B-CMD-3MS than seven H7651 men that can render H7725 a reason H2940 .
17 He that passeth by H5674 , and meddleth H5674 with H5921 PREP strife H7379 NMS belonging not H3808 to him , is like one that taketh H2388 VHPMS 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 ADV is the man H376 NMS that deceiveth H7411 his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS , and saith H559 , Am not H3808 I-NADV I H589 PPRO-1MS in sport H7832 ?
20 Where no H657 B-CMS wood H6086 is , there the fire H784 CMS 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 W-NMS to kindle H2787 strife H7379 .
22 The words H1697 CMP of a talebearer H5372 are as wounds H3859 , and they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP go down H3381 into the innermost parts H2315 of the belly H990 .
23 Burning H1814 lips H8193 NFD and a wicked H7451 AMS heart H3820 are like a potsherd H2789 NMS covered H6823 with silver H3701 NMS dross H5509 .
24 He that hateth H8130 VQCMS dissembleth H5234 with his lips H8193 , and layeth up H7896 VQY3MS deceit H4820 NFS within H7130 him ;
25 When H3588 CONJ he speaketh H6963 fair H2603 , believe H539 him not H408 NPAR : for H3588 CONJ there are seven H7651 MFS 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 VQY3MS therein : and he that rolleth H1556 a stone H68 GFS , it will return H7725 VQY2MS upon H413 PREP-3MS him .
28 A lying H8267 NMS tongue H3956 hateth H8130 those that are afflicted H1790 by it ; and a flattering H2509 mouth H6310 worketh H6213 VQY3MS ruin H4072 .
