The Book of Proverbs: Chapter 26, Verses 12-16 (Proverbs 26:12-16)
| «Proverbs Chapter 25 | Proverbs Chapter 27» |
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
Proverbs 28:16
The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
