1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. Cross refs
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. Cross refs
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. Cross refs
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Cross refs
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. Cross refs
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. Cross refs
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. Cross refs
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. Cross refs
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. Cross refs
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. Cross refs
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. Cross refs
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. Cross refs
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. Cross refs
14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. Cross refs
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. Cross refs
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. Cross refs
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. Cross refs
18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, Cross refs
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? Cross refs
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. Cross refs
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. Cross refs
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. Cross refs
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. Cross refs
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; Cross refs
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Cross refs
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Cross refs
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. Cross refs
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. Cross refs
