As snowH7950 in summerH7019, and as rainH4306 in harvestH7105, so honourH3519 is not seemlyH5000 for a foolH3684.
As the birdH6833 by wanderingH5110, as the swallowH1866 by flyingH5774, so the curseH7045 causelessH2600 shall not comeH935.
A whipH7752 for the horseH5483, a bridleH4964 for the assH2543, and a rodH7626 for the fool'sH3684 backH1460.
AnswerH6030 not a foolH3684 according to his follyH200, lest thou also be likeH7737 unto him.

He that sendethH7971 a messageH1697 by the handH3027 of a foolH3684 cutteth offH7096 the feetH7272, and drinkethH8354 damageH2555. {damage: or, violence}
The legsH7785 of the lameH6455 are not equalH1809: so is a parableH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684. {are…: Heb. are lifted up}
As he that bindethH6872+H6887 a stoneH68 in a slingH4773, so is he that givethH5414 honourH3519 to a foolH3684. {bindeth…: or, putteth a precious stone in an heap of stones}
As a thornH2336 goeth upH5927 into the handH3027 of a drunkardH7910, so is a parableH4912 in the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684.
The greatH7227 God that formedH2342 all things both rewardethH7936 the foolH3684, and rewardethH7936 transgressorsH5674. {The great…: or, A great man grieveth all, and he hireth the fool, he hireth also transgressors}
As a dogH3611 returnethH7725 to his vomitH6892, so a foolH3684 returnethH8138 to his follyH200. {returneth to his folly: Heb. iterateth his folly}
SeestH7200 thou a manH376 wiseH2450 in his own conceitH5869? there is more hopeH8615 of a foolH3684 than of him.
The slothfulH6102 man saithH559, There is a lionH7826 in the wayH1870; a lionH738 is in the streetsH7339.
As the doorH1817 turnethH5437 upon his hingesH6735, so doth the slothfulH6102 upon his bedH4296.

The sluggardH6102 is wiserH2450 in his own conceitH5869 than seven menH7651 that can renderH7725 a reasonH2940.
He that passeth byH5674, and meddlethH5674 with strifeH7379 belonging not to him, is like one that takethH2388 a dogH3611 by the earsH241. {meddleth: or, is enraged}

Where noH657 woodH6086 is, there the fireH784 goeth outH3518: so where there is no talebearerH5372, the strifeH4066 ceasethH8367. {Where no…: Heb. Without wood} {talebearer: or, whisperer} {ceaseth: Heb. is silent}
As coalsH6352 are to burning coalsH1513, and woodH6086 to fireH784; so is a contentiousH4079+H4066 manH376 to kindleH2787 strifeH7379.
The wordsH1697 of a talebearerH5372 are as woundsH3859, and they go downH3381 into the innermost partsH2315 of the bellyH990. {innermost…: Heb. chambers}
BurningH1814 lipsH8193 and a wickedH7451 heartH3820 are like a potsherdH2789 coveredH6823 with silverH3701 drossH5509.

When he speakethH6963 fairH2603, believeH539 him not: for there are sevenH7651 abominationsH8441 in his heartH3820. {speaketh…: Heb. maketh his voice gracious}
Whose hatredH8135 is coveredH3680 by deceitH4860, his wickednessH7451 shall be shewedH1540 before the whole congregationH6951. {by…: or, in secret}
Whoso diggethH3738 a pitH7845 shall fallH5307 therein: and he that rollethH1556 a stoneH68, it will returnH7725 upon him.
A lyingH8267 tongueH3956 hatethH8130 those that are afflictedH1790 by it; and a flatteringH2509 mouthH6310 workethH6213 ruinH4072.
