[1]As snowH7950 in summerH7019, and as rainH4306 in harvestH7105, so honourH3519 is not seemlyH5000 for a foolH3684.
[2]As the birdH6833 by wanderingH5110[H8800], as the swallowH1866 by flyingH5774[H8800], so the curseH7045 causelessH2600 shall not comeH935.[H8799]
[3]A whipH7752 for the horseH5483, a bridleH4964 for the assH2543, and a rodH7626 for the fool'sH3684 backH1460.
[4]AnswerH6030[H8799] not a foolH3684 according to his follyH200, lest thou also be likeH7737 unto himH8799.
[5]AnswerH6030[H8798] a foolH3684 according to his follyH200, lest he be wiseH2450 in his own conceitH5869.
[6]He that sendethH7971[H8802] a messageH1697 by the handH3027 of a foolH3684 cutteth offH7096[H8764] the feetH7272, and drinkethH8354[H8802] damageH2555.
[7]The legsH7785 of the lameH6455 are not equalH1809[H8804]: so is a parableH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684.
[8]As he that bindethH6872[H8675][H6887][H8800] a stoneH68 in a slingH4773, so is he that givethH5414[H8802] honourH3519 to a foolH3684.
[9]As a thornH2336 goeth upH5927[H8804] into the handH3027 of a drunkardH7910, so is a parableH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684.
[10]The greatH7227 God that formedH2342[H8789] all things both rewardethH7936[H8802] the foolH3684, and rewardethH7936[H8802] transgressorsH5674.[H8802]
[11]As a dogH3611 returnethH7725[H8804] to his vomitH6892, so a foolH3684 returnethH8138[H8802] to his follyH200.
[12]SeestH7200[H8804] thou a manH376 wiseH2450 in his own conceitH5869? there is more hopeH8615 of a fool than of himH3684.
[13]The slothfulH6102 man saithH559[H8804], There is a lionH7826 in the wayH1870; a lionH738 is in the streetsH7339.
[14]As the doorH1817 turnethH5437[H8735] upon his hingesH6735, so doth the slothfulH6102 upon his bedH4296.
[15]The slothfulH6102 hidethH2934[H8804] his handH3027 in his bosomH6747; it grievethH3811[H8738] him to bring it againH7725[H8687] to his mouthH6310.
[16]The sluggardH6102 is wiserH2450 in his own conceitH5869 than seven menH7651 that can renderH7725[H8688] a reasonH2940.
[17]He that passeth byH5674[H8802], and meddlethH5674[H8693] with strifeH7379 belonging not to him, is like one that takethH2388[H8688] a dogH3611 by the earsH241.
[18]As a madH3856[H8700] man who castethH3384[H8802] firebrandsH2131, arrowsH2671, and deathH4194,
[19]So is the manH376 that deceivethH7411[H8765] his neighbourH7453, and saithH559[H8804], Am not I in sportH7832?[H8764]
[20]Where noH657 woodH6086 is, there the fireH784 goeth outH3518[H8799]: so where there is no talebearerH5372, the strifeH4066 ceasethH8367.[H8799]
[21]As coalsH6352 are to burning coalsH1513, and woodH6086 to fireH784; so is a contentiousH4079[H8675][H4066] manH376 to kindleH2787[H8771] strifeH7379.
[22]The wordsH1697 of a talebearerH5372 are as woundsH3859[H8693], and they go downH3381[H8804] into the innermost partsH2315 of the bellyH990.
[23]BurningH1814[H8801] lipsH8193 and a wickedH7451 heartH3820 are like a potsherdH2789 coveredH6823[H8794] with silverH3701 drossH5509.
[24]He that hatethH8130[H8802] dissemblethH5234[H8735] with his lipsH8193, and layeth upH7896[H8799] deceitH4820 within himH7130;
[25]When he speakethH6963 fairH2603[H8762], believeH539[H8686] him not: for there are sevenH7651 abominationsH8441 in his heartH3820.
[26]Whose hatredH8135 is coveredH3680[H8691] by deceitH4860, his wickednessH7451 shall be shewedH1540[H8735] before the whole congregationH6951.
[27]Whoso diggethH3738[H8802] a pitH7845 shall fallH5307[H8799] therein: and he that rollethH1556[H8802] a stoneH68, it will returnH7725 upon himH8799.
[28]A lyingH8267 tongueH3956 hatethH8130[H8799] those that are afflictedH1790 by it; and a flatteringH2509 mouthH6310 workethH6213[H8799] ruinH4072.
