Proverbios 26
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
26 Ni nieve al verano ni lluvia a la siega
ni honores al necio sientan bien.
2 Como gorrión o golondrina sin rumbo,
la maldición sin motivo no prospera.
3 Látigo para el caballo, ramal para el asno
y vara para la espalda de los necios.
4 No respondas al necio con su insensatez
no sea que también tú te vuelvas como él.
5 Responde al necio por su insensatez
no vaya a presumir de sabio.
6 Se amputa los pies y se busca problemas
quien envía mensajes por medio de necios.
7 Como fallan las piernas al cojo,
así el proverbio en boca de necios.
8 Como atar una piedra a la honda,
así es rendir honores a un necio.
9 Cardo en manos de borracho,
el proverbio en boca de necios.
10 Arquero que hiere a cualquier transeúnte,
quien contrata a necio o vagabundo.
11 Como el perro que lame su vómito,
el necio que repite sus sandeces.
12 Más se puede esperar de un necio
que de alguien que presume de sabio.
13 Dice el perezoso: “¡Hay un león en el camino!
¡Una fiera en medio de la calle!”.
14 La puerta gira en sus bisagras,
el perezoso da vueltas en su cama.
15 El perezoso mete la mano en el plato,
pero le cansa llevarla a su boca.
16 El perezoso se cree más sabio
que siete que saben responder.
17 Tira de las orejas a un perro
quien va de paso y se mete en riña ajena.
18 Como un loco que dispara
flechas y saetas mortales,
19 así es el que engaña a su prójimo
y luego dice que todo era broma.
20 Cuando falta la leña, se apaga el fuego;
donde no hay chismosos, se acaban las riñas.
21 Con carbón se hacen brasas y con leña fuego,
las peleas las atiza el camorrista.
22 Las palabras del calumniador son golosinas,
penetran hasta lo más profundo.
23 Baño de plata en vasija de barro
son los labios melosos con mala intención.
24 Disimula al hablar el que odia,
pero en su interior alberga engaño;
25 aunque te hable con dulzura, no te fíes;
su mente esconde siete maldiciones;
26 aunque oculte su odio con astucia,
su maldad quedará probada en público.
27 En la fosa que cavas caerás,
la piedra que ruedas te aplastará.
28 Lengua mentirosa tortura a sus víctimas,
boca aduladora lleva a la ruina.
Proverbs 26
Jubilee Bible 2000
26 ¶ As snow in summer and as rain in harvest, so honour is not suited for a fool.
2 ¶ As the sparrow in its wandering, as the swallow in its flight, so the curse causeless shall never come.
3 ¶ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
4 ¶ Never answer a fool according to his folly lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer the fool showing him his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 ¶ He that gives responsibility to one who is not able to carry it out is like him that sends a message by the hand of a fool, and he shall drink the damage.
7 Like unto the way that the one who is lame walks, so is a proverb in the mouth of the fool.
8 As he that binds the stone in the sling, so is he that gives honour to a fool.
9 As thorns sunk into the hand of one who is drunk, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 ¶ The great God that formed all things rewards both the fool and transgressors.
11 ¶ As a dog returns to his vomit, so the fool returns to his folly.
12 ¶ Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 ¶ The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 ¶ As the door turns upon his hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.
15 ¶ The slothful hides his hand in his bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 ¶ The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can give him counsel.
17 ¶ He that passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him is like one that takes a dog by the ears.
18 ¶ As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 so is the man that destroys his friend and says, Am I not in sport?
20 ¶ Where there is no wood, the fire goes out, so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
21 Charcoal for burning coals and wood for fire, and a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 ¶ Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 ¶ He that hates dissembles with his lips and lays up deceit within him;
25 when he speaks fair, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Even though his hatred is covered up in the desert, his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.
27 ¶ Whosoever digs a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolls a stone, it will return upon him.
28 ¶ A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
