Proverbs 26 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers1 H7950 As snow H7019 in summer H4306 , and as rain H7105 in harvest H3519 , so honour H5000 is not seemly H3684 for a fool. 2 H6833 As the bird H5110 by wandering [H8800] H1866 , as the swallow H5774 by flying [H8800] H7045 , so the curse H2600 causeless H935 shall not come [H8799] . 3 H7752 A whip H5483 for the horse H4964 , a bridle H2543 for the ass H7626 , and a rod H3684 for the fool's H1460 back. 4 H6030 Answer [H8799] H3684 not a fool H200 according to his folly H7737 , lest thou also be like [H8799] unto him. 5 H6030 Answer [H8798] H3684 a fool H200 according to his folly H2450 , lest he be wise H5869 in his own conceit. 6 H7971 He that sendeth [H8802] H1697 a message H3027 by the hand H3684 of a fool H7096 cutteth off [H8764] H7272 the feet H8354 , and drinketh [H8802] H2555 damage. 7 H7785 The legs H6455 of the lame H1809 are not equal [H8804] H4912 : so is a parable H6310 in the mouth H3684 of fools. 8 H6872 As he that bindeth [H8675] H6887 [H8800] H68 a stone H4773 in a sling H5414 , so is he that giveth [H8802] H3519 honour H3684 to a fool. 9 H2336 As a thorn H5927 goeth up [H8804] H3027 into the hand H7910 of a drunkard H4912 , so is a parable H6310 in the mouth H3684 of fools. 10 H7227 The great H2342 God that formed [H8789] H7936 all things both rewardeth [H8802] H3684 the fool H7936 , and rewardeth [H8802] H5674 transgressors [H8802] . 11 H3611 As a dog H7725 returneth [H8804] H6892 to his vomit H3684 , so a fool H8138 returneth [H8802] H200 to his folly. 12 H7200 Seest [H8804] H376 thou a man H2450 wise H5869 in his own conceit H8615 ? there is more hope H3684 of a fool than of him. 13 H6102 The slothful H559 man saith [H8804] H7826 , There is a lion H1870 in the way H738 ; a lion H7339 is in the streets. 14 H1817 As the door H5437 turneth [H8735] H6735 upon his hinges H6102 , so doth the slothful H4296 upon his bed. 15 H6102 The slothful H2934 hideth [H8804] H3027 his hand H6747 in his bosom H3811 ; it grieveth [H8738] H7725 him to bring it again [H8687] H6310 to his mouth. 16 H6102 The sluggard H2450 is wiser H5869 in his own conceit H7651 than seven men H7725 that can render [H8688] H2940 a reason. 17 H5674 He that passeth by [H8802] H5674 , and meddleth [H8693] H7379 with strife H2388 belonging not to him, is like one that taketh [H8688] H3611 a dog H241 by the ears. 18 H3856 As a mad [H8700] H3384 man who casteth [H8802] H2131 firebrands H2671 , arrows H4194 , and death, 19 H376 So is the man H7411 that deceiveth [H8765] H7453 his neighbour H559 , and saith [H8804] H7832 , Am not I in sport [H8764] ? 20 H657 Where no H6086 wood H784 is, there the fire H3518 goeth out [H8799] H5372 : so where there is no talebearer H4066 , the strife H8367 ceaseth [H8799] . 21 H6352 As coals H1513 are to burning coals H6086 , and wood H784 to fire H4079 ; so is a contentious [H8675] H4066 H376 man H2787 to kindle [H8771] H7379 strife. 22 H1697 The words H5372 of a talebearer H3859 are as wounds [H8693] H3381 , and they go down [H8804] H2315 into the innermost parts H990 of the belly. 23 H1814 Burning [H8801] H8193 lips H7451 and a wicked H3820 heart H2789 are like a potsherd H6823 covered [H8794] H3701 with silver H5509 dross. 24 H8130 He that hateth [H8802] H5234 dissembleth [H8735] H8193 with his lips H7896 , and layeth up [H8799] H4820 deceit H7130 within him; 25 H6963 When he speaketh H2603 fair [H8762] H539 , believe [H8686] H7651 him not: for there are seven H8441 abominations H3820 in his heart. 26 H8135 Whose hatred H3680 is covered [H8691] H4860 by deceit H7451 , his wickedness H1540 shall be shewed [H8735] H6951 before the whole congregation. 27 H3738 Whoso diggeth [H8802] H7845 a pit H5307 shall fall [H8799] H1556 therein: and he that rolleth [H8802] H68 a stone H7725 , it will return [H8799] upon him. 28 H8267 A lying H3956 tongue H8130 hateth [H8799] H1790 those that are afflicted H2509 by it; and a flattering H6310 mouth H6213 worketh [H8799] H4072 ruin. |
