¹ As snow ^H7950 in summer, ^H7019 and as rain ^H4306 in harvest, ^H7105 so honour ^H3519 is not seemly ^H5000 for a fool. ^H3684

² As the bird ^H6833 by wandering, ^H5110 as the swallow ^H1866 by flying, ^H5774 so the curse ^H7045 causeless ^H2600 shall not come. ^H935

³ A whip ^H7752 for the horse, ^H5483 a bridle ^H4964 for the ass, ^H2543 and a rod ^H7626 for the fool's ^H3684 back. ^H1460

⁴ Answer ^H6030 not a fool ^H3684 according to his folly, ^H200 lest thou also be like ^H7737 unto him.

⁵ Answer ^H6030 a fool ^H3684 according to his folly, ^H200 lest he be wise ^H2450 in his own conceit. ^H5869

⁶ He that sendeth ^H7971 a message ^H1697 by the hand ^H3027 of a fool ^H3684 cutteth off ^H7096 the feet, ^H7272 and drinketh ^H8354 damage. ^H2555

⁷ The legs ^H7785 of the lame ^H6455 are not equal: ^H1809 so is a parable ^H4912 in the mouth ^H6310 of fools. ^H3684

⁸ As he that bindeth ^{H6872 H6887} a stone ^H68 in a sling, ^H4773 so is he that giveth ^H5414 honour ^H3519 to a fool. ^H3684

⁹ As a thorn ^H2336 goeth up ^H5927 into the hand ^H3027 of a drunkard, ^H7910 so is a parable ^H4912 in the mouth ^H6310 of fools. ^H3684

¹⁰ The great ^H7227 God that formed ^H2342 all things both rewardeth ^H7936 the fool, ^H3684 and rewardeth ^H7936 transgressors. ^H5674

¹¹ As a dog ^H3611 returneth ^H7725 to his vomit, ^H6892 so a fool ^H3684 returneth ^H8138 to his folly. ^H200

¹² Seest ^H7200 thou a man ^H376 wise ^H2450 in his own conceit? ^H5869 there is more hope ^H8615 of a fool ^H3684 than of him.

¹³ The slothful ^H6102 man saith, ^H559 There is a lion ^H7826 in the way; ^H1870 a lion ^H738 is in the streets. ^H7339

¹⁴ As the door ^H1817 turneth ^H5437 upon his hinges, ^H6735 so doth the slothful ^H6102 upon his bed. ^H4296

¹⁵ The slothful ^H6102 hideth ^H2934 his hand ^H3027 in his bosom; ^H6747 it grieveth ^H3811 him to bring it again ^H7725 to his mouth. ^H6310

¹⁶ The sluggard ^H6102 is wiser ^H2450 in his own conceit ^H5869 than seven men ^H7651 that can render ^H7725 a reason. ^H2940

¹⁷ He that passeth by, ^H5674 and meddleth ^H5674 with strife ^H7379 belonging not to him, is like one that taketh ^H2388 a dog ^H3611 by the ears. ^H241

¹⁸ As a mad ^H3856 man who casteth ^H3384 firebrands, ^H2131 arrows, ^H2671 and death, ^H4194

¹⁹ So is the man ^H376 that deceiveth ^H7411 his neighbour, ^H7453 and saith, ^H559 Am not I in sport? ^H7832

²⁰ Where no ^H657 wood ^H6086 is, there the fire ^H784 goeth out: ^H3518 so where there is no talebearer, ^H5372 the strife ^H4066 ceaseth. ^H8367

²¹ As coals ^H6352 are to burning coals, ^H1513 and wood ^H6086 to fire; ^H784 so is a contentious ^{H4079 H4066} man ^H376 to kindle ^H2787 strife. ^H7379

²² The words ^H1697 of a talebearer ^H5372 are as wounds, ^H3859 and they go down ^H3381 into the innermost parts ^H2315 of the belly. ^H990

²³ Burning ^H1814 lips ^H8193 and a wicked ^H7451 heart ^H3820 are like a potsherd ^H2789 covered ^H6823 with silver ^H3701 dross. ^H5509

²⁴ He that hateth ^H8130 dissembleth ^H5234 with his lips, ^H8193 and layeth up ^H7896 deceit ^H4820 within ^H7130 him;

²⁵ When he speaketh ^H6963 fair, ^H2603 believe ^H539 him not: for there are seven ^H7651 abominations ^H8441 in his heart. ^H3820

²⁶ Whose hatred ^H8135 is covered ^H3680 by deceit, ^H4860 his wickedness ^H7451 shall be shewed ^H1540 before the whole congregation. ^H6951

²⁷ Whoso diggeth ^H3738 a pit ^H7845 shall fall ^H5307 therein: and he that rolleth ^H1556 a stone, ^H68 it will return ^H7725 upon him.

²⁸ A lying ^H8267 tongue ^H3956 hateth ^H8130 those that are afflicted ^H1790 by it; and a flattering ^H2509 mouth ^H6310 worketh ^H6213 ruin. ^H4072
