Proverbs on the Fool and Folly

Proverbs 26:1-12
1
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.
2
As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.
3
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.
4
Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou also be like unto him.
5
Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool Cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh in damage.
7
The legs of the lame hang loose; So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8
As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.
9
Asa thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10
As an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.
11
As a dog that returneth to his vomit, So isa fool that repeateth his folly.
12
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
