Chapter 26
As
snow
in
summer,
and
as
raine
in
haruest:
so
honour
is
not
seemely
for
a
foole.
2
As
the
bird
by
wandring,
as
the
swallow
by
flying:
so
the
curse
causelesse
shall
not
come.
3
A
whip
for
the
horse,
a
bridle
for
the
asse;
and
a
rod
for
the
fooles
backe.
4
Answere
not
a
foole
according
to
his
folly,
lest
thou
also
be
like
vnto
him.
5
Answere
a
foole
according
to
his
folly,
lest
hee
be
wise
in
his
owne
conceit.
6
He
that
sendeth
a
message
by
the
hand
of
a
foole,
cutteth
off
the
feete,
and
drinketh
dammage.
7
The
legges
of
the
lame
are
not
equall:
so
is
a
parable
in
the
mouth
of
fooles.
8
As
hee
that
bindeth
a
stone
in
a
sling;
so
is
hee
that
giueth
honour
to
a
foole.
9
As
a
thorne
goeth
vp
into
the
hand
of
a
drunkard;
so
is
a
parable
in
the
mouth
of
fooles.
10
The
great
God
that
formed
all
things,
both
rewardeth
the
foole,
and
rewardeth
transgressours.
11
As
a
dogge
returneth
to
his
vomite:
so
a
foole
returneth
to
his
folly.
12
Seest
thou
a
man
wise
in
his
owne
conceit?
there
is
more
hope
of
a
foole
then
of
him.
13
The
slothfull
man
sayth,
There
is
a
lion
in
the
way,
a
lion
is
in
the
streets.
14
As
the
doore
turneth
vpon
his
hinges:
so
doeth
the
slothfull
vpon
his
bedde.
15
The
slothfull
hideth
his
hand
in
his
bosome,
it
grieueth
him
to
bring
it
againe
to
his
mouth.
16
The
sluggard
is
wiser
in
his
owne
conceit,
then
seuen
men
that
can
render
a
reason.
17
He
that
passeth
by,
and
medleth
with
strife
belonging
not
to
him,
is
like
one
that
taketh
a
dog
by
the
eares.
18
As
a
mad
man,
who
casteth
firebrands,
arrowes,
and
death:
19
So
is
the
man
that
deceiueth
his
neighbour,
&
sayth,
Am
not
I
in
sport?
20
Where
no
wood
is,
there
the
fire
goeth
out:
so
where
there
is
no
tale-bearer,
the
strife
ceaseth.
21
As
coales
are
to
burning
coales,
and
wood
to
fire;
so
is
a
contentious
man
to
kindle
strife.
22
The
words
of
a
tale-bearer
are
as
woundes,
and
they
goe
downe
into
the
innermost
parts
of
the
belly.
23
Burning
lips,
and
a
wicked
heart,
are
like
a
potsheard
couered
with
siluer
drosse.
24
Hee
that
hateth,
dissembleth
with
his
lips,
and
layeth
vp
deceit
within
him.
25
When
he
speaketh
faire,
beleeue
him
not:
for
there
are
seuen
abominations
in
his
heart.
26
Whose
hatred
is
couered
by
deceit,
his
wickednesse
shall
be
shewed
before
the
whole
congregation.
27
Whoso
diggeth
a
pit,
shall
fall
therein:
and
he
that
rolleth
a
stone,
it
will
returne
vpon
him.
28
A
lying
tongue
hateth
those
that
are
afflicted
by
it,
and
a
flattering
mouth
worketh
ruine.
