1Like snow^H7950 in summer^H7019 and like rain^H4306 in harvest,^H7105 So^H3651 honor^H9202 is not fitting^H5000 for a fool.^H3684
2Like a sparrow^H6833 in [its] flitting,^H5110 like a swallow^H1866 in [its] flying,^H5774 So^H3651 a curse^H7045 without^H2600 cause^H2600 does not alight.^H935
3A whip^H7752 is for the horse,^H5483 a bridle^H4964 for the donkey,^H2543 And a rod^H7626 for the back^H1460 of fools.^H3684
4Do not answer^H6030 a fool^H3684 according to his folly,^H200 Lest^H6435 you also^H1571 be like^H9586 him.
5Answer^H6030 a fool^H3684 as his folly^H200 [deserves], Lest^H6435 he be wise^H2450 in his own eyes.^H5869
6He cuts^H7096 off^H7096 [his own] feet,^H7272 [and] drinks^H8354 violence^H2555 Who sends^H7971 a message^H1697 by the hand^H3027 of a fool.^H3684
7[Like] the legs^H7785 [which] hang^H1802 down^H1802 from the lame,^H6455 So is a proverb^H4912 in the mouth^H6310 of fools.^H3684
8Like one who binds^H9503 a stone^H68 in a sling,^H4773 So^H3651 is he who gives^H5414 honor^H9202 to a fool.^H3684
9[Like] a thorn^H2336 [which] falls^H5927 into the hand^H3027 of a drunkard,^H7910 So is a proverb^H4912 in the mouth^H6310 of fools.^H3684
10[Like] an archer^H7228 who wounds^H9123 everyone,^H3605 So is he who hires^H7936 a fool^H3684 or who hires^H7936 those who pass^H5674 by.
11Like a dog^H3611 that returns^H7725 to its vomit^H6892 Is a fool^H3684 who repeats^H8138 his folly.^H200
12Do you see^H7200 a man^H376 wise^H2450 in his own eyes^H5869? There is more^H4480 hope^H8615 for a fool^H3684 than^H4480 for him.
13The sluggard^H6102 says,^H559 "There is a lion^H7826 in the road!^H1870 A lion^H738 is in the open^H7339 square!^H7339"
14[As] the door^H1817 turns^H5437 on its hinges,^H9482 So [does] the sluggard^H6102 on his bed.^H4296
15The sluggard^H6102 buries^H2934 his hand^H3027 in the dish;^H6747 He is weary^H3811 of bringing^H7725 it to his mouth^H6310 again.^H7725
16The sluggard^H6102 is wiser^H2450 in his own eyes^H5869 Than^H4480 seven^H7651 men who can give^H7725 a discreet^H2940 answer.^H7725
17[Like] one who takes^H2388 a dog^H3611 by the ears^H241 Is he who passes^H5674 by [and] meddles^H9378 with strife^H7379 not belonging to him.
18Like a madman^H9231 who throws^H3384 Firebrands,^H2131 arrows^H2671 and death,^H4194
19So^H3651 is the man^H376 who deceives^H7411 his neighbor,^H7453 And says,^H559 "Was I not joking^H7832?"
20For lack^H657 of wood^H6086 the fire^H784 goes^H3518 out, And where there^H369 is no^H369 whisperer,^H7279 contention^H4066 quiets^H8367 down.^H8367
21[Like] charcoal^H6352 to hot^H1513 embers^H1513 and wood^H6086 to fire,^H784 So is a contentious^H4066 man^H376 to kindle^H2787 strife.^H7379
22The words^H1697 of a whisperer^H7279 are like dainty^H3859 morsels,^H3859 And they go^H3381 down^H3381 into the innermost^H2315 parts^H2315 of the body.^H990
23[Like] an earthen^H2789 vessel^H2789 overlaid^H6823 with silver^H3701 dross^H5509 Are burning^H1814 lips^H8193 and a wicked^H7451 heart.^H3820
24He who hates^H8130 disguises^H9330 [it] with his lips,^H8193 But he lays^H7896 up deceit^H4820 in his heart.^H7130
25When^H3588 he speaks^H6963 graciously,^H2603 do not believe^H539 him, For there are seven^H7651 abominations^H8441 in his heart.^H3820
26[Though his] hatred^H8135 covers^H3680 itself with guile,^H4860 His wickedness^H9567 will be revealed^H1540 before the assembly.^H6951
27He who digs^H3738 a pit^H7845 will fall^H5307 into it, And he who rolls^H1556 a stone,^H68 it will come^H7725 back^H7725 on him.
28A lying^H8267 tongue^H3956 hates^H8130 those it crushes,^H1790 And a flattering^H2509 mouth^H6310 works^H6213 ruin.^H4072
