Proverbs 26
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
26 As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
2 As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
3 A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
6 He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
7 As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
12 Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
14 As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
17 As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man's quarrel.
18 As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
19 So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
20 When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
24 An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
25 When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
26 He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
27 He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
28 A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
Proverbs 26
King James Version
26 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth 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 turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and 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 hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Provérbios 26
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
26 Como a neve no verão e como a chuva na sega, assim não é conveniente ao louco a honra. 2 Como o pássaro no seu vaguear, e como a andorinha no seu voo, assim a maldição sem causa não virá. 3 O açoite é para o cavalo, o freio, para o jumento, e a vara, para as costas dos tolos. 4 Não respondas ao tolo segundo a sua estultícia, para que também te não faças semelhante a ele. 5 Responde ao tolo segundo a sua estultícia, para que não seja sábio aos seus olhos. 6 Os pés corta e o dano bebe quem manda mensagens pelas mãos de um tolo. 7 Como as pernas do coxo, que pendem frouxas, assim é o provérbio na boca dos tolos. 8 Como o que prende a pedra preciosa na funda, assim é aquele que dá honra ao tolo. 9 Como o espinho que entra na mão do ébrio, assim é o provérbio na boca dos tolos. 10 Como um besteiro que a todos espanta, assim é o que assalaria os tolos e os transgressores. 11 Como o cão que torna ao seu vômito, assim é o tolo que reitera a sua estultícia. 12 Tens visto um homem que é sábio a seus próprios olhos? Maior esperança há no tolo do que nele. 13 Diz o preguiçoso: Um leão está no caminho; um leão está nas ruas. 14 Como a porta se revolve nos seus gonzos, assim o preguiçoso, na sua cama. 15 O preguiçoso esconde a mão no seio; enfada-se de a levar à sua boca. 16 Mais sábio é o preguiçoso a seus olhos do que sete homens que bem respondem. 17 O que, passando, se mete em questão alheia é como aquele que toma um cão pelas orelhas. 18 Como o louco que lança de si faíscas, flechas e mortandades, 19 assim é o homem que engana o seu próximo e diz: Fiz isso por brincadeira. 20 Sem lenha, o fogo se apagará; e, não havendo maldizente, cessará a contenda. 21 Como o carvão é para o borralho, e a lenha, para o fogo, assim é o homem contencioso para acender rixas. 22 As palavras do maldizente são como deliciosos bocados, que descem ao íntimo do ventre. 23 Como o caco coberto de escórias de prata, assim são os lábios ardentes e o coração maligno. 24 Aquele que aborrece dissimula com os seus lábios, mas no seu interior encobre o engano. 25 Quando te suplicar com a sua voz, não te fies nele, porque sete abominações há no seu coração. 26 Ainda que o seu ódio se encobre com engano, a sua malícia se descobrirá na congregação. 27 O que faz uma cova nela cairá; e o que revolve a pedra, esta sobre ele rolará. 28 A língua falsa aborrece aquele a quem ela tem maravilhado, e a boca lisonjeira opera a ruína.
