Proverbs 26:3-12

A whip
<07752>
for the horse
<05483>_,
a bridle
<04964>
for the ass
<02543>_,
and a rod
<07626>
for the fool's
<03684>
back
<01460>_.
Answer
<06030> (8799)
not a fool
<03684>
according to his folly
<0200>_,
lest thou also be like
<07737> (8799)
unto him.
Answer
<06030> (8798)
a fool
<03684>
according to his folly
<0200>_,
lest he be wise
<02450>
in his own conceit
<05869>_.
{conceit: Heb. eyes}
He that sendeth
<07971> (8802)
a message
<01697>
by the hand
<03027>
of a fool
<03684>
cutteth off
<07096> (8764)
the feet
<07272>_,
[and] drinketh
<08354> (8802)
damage
<02555>_.
{damage: or, violence}
The legs
<07785>
of the lame
<06455>
are not equal
<01809> (8804)_:
so [is] a parable
<04912>
in the mouth
<06310>
of fools
<03684>_.
{are...: Heb. are lifted up}
As he that bindeth
<06872> (8675) <06887> (8800)
a stone
<068>
in a sling
<04773>_,
so [is] he that giveth
<05414> (8802)
honour
<03519>
to a fool
<03684>_.
{bindeth...: or, putteth a precious stone in an heap of stones}
[As] a thorn
<02336>
goeth up
<05927> (8804)
into the hand
<03027>
of a drunkard
<07910>_,
so [is] a parable
<04912>
in the mouth
<06310>
of fools
<03684>_.
The great
<07227>
[God] that formed
<02342> (8789)
all [things] both rewardeth
<07936> (8802)
the fool
<03684>_,
and rewardeth
<07936> (8802)
transgressors
<05674> (8802)_.
{The great...: or, A great man grieveth all, and he hireth the fool, he hireth also transgressors}
As a dog
<03611>
returneth
<07725> (8804)
to his vomit
<06892>_,
[so] a fool
<03684>
returneth
<08138> (8802)
to his folly
<0200>_.
{returneth to his folly: Heb. iterateth his folly}
Seest
<07200> (8804)
thou a man
<0376>
wise
<02450>
in his own conceit
<05869>_?
[there is] more hope
<08615>
of a fool
<03684>
than of him.
