1	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, drinketh damage.
			7	The legs of the lame are not equal: so a parable in the mouth of fools.
			8	As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so he that giveth honour to a fool.
			9	As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so a parable in the mouth of fools.
			10	The great that formed all both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
			11	As a dog returneth to his vomit, a fool returneth to his folly.
			12	Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? more hope of a fool than of him.
			13	The slothful saith, a lion in the way; a lion in the streets.
			14	# As the door turneth upon his hinges, so the slothful upon his bed.
			15	The slothful hideth his hand in bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
			16	The sluggard wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
			17	He that passeth by, meddleth with strife not to him, one that taketh a dog by the ears.
			18	As a mad who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
			19	So the man deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
			20	Where no wood is, the fire goeth out: so where no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
			21	As coals to burning coals, and wood to fire; so a contentious man to kindle strife.
			22	The words of a talebearer as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
			23	Burning lips and a wicked heart 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 seven abominations in his heart.
			26	Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the 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 afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
