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