来自{publisher｝1Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool. (撒上12:17; 箴17:7; 箴19:10; 箴26:8)2Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight. (民23:8; 申23:5; 撒下16:12; 诗84:3; 箴27:8)3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. (诗32:9; 箴19:29)4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. (撒下16:11; 王下18:36; 路23:9)5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. (箴28:11; 太16:1; 太21:24; 羅12:16)6Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence. (伯15:16; 箴13:2)7Like a lame man’s legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.8Like one who binds the stone in the sling is one who gives honor to a fool. (箴26:1)9Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools. (箴23:35)10Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.[1]11Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly. (出8:15; 彼后2:22)12Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. (箴28:11; 箴29:20; 羅12:16)13The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!” (箴22:13)14As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth. (箴19:24)16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly. (伯5:19; 箴6:16; 箴26:12; 箴26:25)17Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.18Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death (赛50:11)19is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I am only joking!”20For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. (箴16:28; 箴22:10)21As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. (箴15:18)22The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. (箴18:8; 箴26:20)23Like the glaze[2] covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart. (箴25:4; 太23:27; 路11:39)24Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;25when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; (诗28:3; 箴26:16)26though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.27Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. (诗7:15; 箴28:10)28A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
