Proverbs 26
1Like 2 so honor is not fitting for a fool. 1
2Like 2 like a darting swallow, 2 so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest. 1
3A 2 a bridle for the donkey, 2 and a rod for the back of fools! 1
4Don’t answer 2 lest you also be like him. 1
5Answer 2 lest he be wise in his own eyes. 1
6One 2 is cutting off feet and drinking violence. 1
7Like 2 so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 1
8As 2 so is he who gives honor to a fool. 1
9Like 2 so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 1
10As 2 so is he who hires a fool 2 or he who hires those who pass by. 1
11As 2 so is a fool who repeats his folly. 1
12Do 2 There is more hope for a fool than for him. 1
13The 2 A fierce lion roams the streets!” 1
14As 2 so does the sluggard on his bed. 1
15The 2 He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. 1
16The 2 than seven men who answer with discretion. 1
17Like 2 is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own. 1
18Like a 2
19is 1
20For 2 Without gossip, a quarrel dies down. 1
21As coals 2 and wood to fire, 2 so is a contentious man to kindling strife. 1
22The 2 they go down into the innermost parts. 1
23Like 2 are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart. 1
24A 2 but he harbors evil in his heart. 1
25When 2 for there are seven abominations in his heart. 1
26His 2 but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. 1
27Whoever digs 2 Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him. 1
28A 2 and a flattering mouth works ruin.
