Proverbs 26:9 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7 Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling is one who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds everybody is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.
11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!"
14 As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
23 Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;
25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
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 .
