Proverbs - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
- Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.
- A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!
- Don't answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
- Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
- One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
- Like the legs of the lame that hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
- Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.
- As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.
- Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
- The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!"
- As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.
- The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
- The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
- Like one who grabs a dog's ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
- Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,
- is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "Am I not joking?"
- For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
