 s snow in summer, and as raine in haruest: so honour is not seemely for a foole. |
|
| 26:2 |
As the bird by wandring, as the swallow by flying: so the curse causelesse shall not come. |
|

|
| 26:4 |
Answere not a foole according to his folly, lest thou also be like vnto him. |
|
| 26:5 |

| 26:6 |
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, cutteth off the feete, and drinketh dammage. |
|
| 26:7 |
The legges of the lame are not equall: so is a parable in the mouth of fooles. |
|
| 26:8 |
As hee that bindeth a stone in a sling; so is hee that giueth honour to a foole. |
|
| 26:9 |
As a thorne goeth vp into the hand of a drunkard; so is a parable in the mouth of fooles. |
|
| 26:10 |
The great God that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole, and rewardeth transgressours. |
|
| 26:11 |
As a dogge returneth to his vomite: so a foole returneth to his folly. |
|
| 26:12 |
Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceit? there is more hope of a foole then of him. |
|
| 26:13 |
The slothfull man sayth, There is a lion in the way, a lion is in the streets. |
|
| 26:14 |
As the doore turneth vpon his hinges: so doeth the slothfull vpon his bedde. |
|
| 26:15 |
The slothfull hideth his hand in his bosome, it grieueth him to bring it againe to his mouth. |
|
| 26:16 |
The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceit, then seuen men that can render a reason. |
|
| 26:17 |
He that passeth by, and medleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the eares. |
|
| 26:18 |
As a mad man, who casteth firebrands, arrowes, and death: |
|

|
| 26:20 |
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth. |
|
| 26:21 |
As coales are to burning coales, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. |

When he speaketh faire, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart. |
|
| 26:26 |
Whose hatred is couered by deceit, his wickednesse shall be shewed before the whole congregation. |
|
| 26:27 |
Whoso diggeth a pit, shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will returne vpon him. |
|
| 26:28 |
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it, and a flattering mouth worketh ruine. |
