Proverbios 26 | La Biblia Textual

La Biblia Textual

1 Ni la nieve al verano ni la lluvia a la siega, Ni la honra al necio les van bien. 2 Cual gorrión que aletea y golondrina que vuela, Así la maldición sin causa no se cumple. 3 El látigo para el caballo, la brida para el asno, Y la vara para la espalda del necio. 4 No respondas al necio según su necedad, No sea que te iguales a él. 5 Responde al necio como merece su necedad, No sea que se tenga por sabio. 6 Se corta los pies y bebe el perjuicio para sí mismo, Quien envía recado por medio de un necio. 7 Al lisiado le cuelgan las piernas, Al necio el proverbio en la boca. 8 Pretende sujetar una piedra en la honda, Quien concede honores al necio. 9 Como rama de espinos que agarra un borracho, Así es el proverbio en boca del necio. 10 Arquero que dispara contra cualquiera, Es el que contrata a insensatos y vagabundos. 11 Como perro que vuelve a su vómito, Así el necio repite sus necedades. 12 ¿Has visto a alguien sabio en su propia opinión? Pues más se puede esperar de un necio. 13 Dice el perezoso: Hay un león en el camino, Hay una fiera en la calle. 14 Como la puerta gira sobre su quicio, Así el perezoso en su cama. 15 El perezoso mete su mano en el plato, Y le fatiga aun llevarla a su boca. 16 El perezoso se cree más sabio, Que siete que responden con acierto. 17 Agarra un perro por las orejas, Quien se mete en pleito ajeno. 18 El alocado dispara dardos encendidos Y flechas mortales, 19 Así es quien engaña a su amigo Y luego dice: Era en broma. 20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego, Y donde no hay chismoso, cesa la contienda. 21 Fuelle para las brasas y leña para el fuego, Es el pendenciero para atizar la contienda. 22 Las palabras del chismoso son manjares, Que bajan hasta lo hondo del vientre. 23 Como tiesto barnizado con escoria de plata, Son los labios enardecidos y el corazón vil. 24 Disimula con sus labios el que odia, Pero en su interior trama el engaño. 25 Aunque suavice la voz, no le creas, Porque siete abominaciones lleva dentro. 26 Aunque con disimulo encubra su odio, Su maldad será descubierta en la asamblea. 27 Quien cave una fosa, caerá en ella, Y quien ruede una piedra, le caerá encima. 28 Lengua mentirosa duplica los daños, Y boca lisonjera causa ruina.

3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. (Sal 32:9; Pr 19:29) 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. (2 S 16:11; 2 R 18:36; Lc 23:9) 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. (Pr 28:11; Mt 16:1; Mt 21:24; Ro 12:16)

6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence. (Job 15:16; Pr 13:2) 7 Like a lame man’s legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling is one who gives honor to a fool. (Pr 26:1) 9 Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools. (Pr 23:35) 10 Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.^[1] 11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly. (Ex 8:15; 2 P 2:22) 12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. (Pr 28:11; Pr 29:20; Ro 12:16) 13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!” (Pr 22:13) 14 As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed. 15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth. (Pr 19:24) 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly. (Job 5:19; Pr 6:16; Pr 26:12; Pr 26:25)

17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears. 18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death (Is 50:11) 19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I am only joking!” 20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. (Pr 16:28; Pr 22:10) 21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. (Pr 15:18) 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. (Pr 18:8; Pr 26:20) 23 Like the glaze^[2] covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart. (Pr 25:4; Mt 23:27; Lc 11:39) 24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; 25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; (Sal 28:3; Pr 26:16) 26 though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. 27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. (Sal 7:15; Pr 28:10) 28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
