Proverbs Chapter 26 - King James Strong Number Version

1: As snow <H7950> in summer, <H7019> and as rain <H4306> in harvest, <H7105> so honour <H3519> is not seemly <H5000> for a fool. <H3684>
2: As the bird <H6833> by wandering, <H5110> as the swallow <H1866> by flying, <H5774> so the curse <H7045> causeless <H2600> shall not come. <H0935>
3: A whip <H7752> for the horse, <H5483> a bridle <H4964> for the ass, <H2543> and a rod <H7626> for the fool's <H3684> back. <H1460>
4: Answer <H6030> not a fool <H3684> according to his folly, <H0200> lest thou also be like <H7737> unto him.
5: Answer <H6030> a fool <H3684> according to his folly, <H0200> lest he be wise <H2450> in his own conceit. <H5869>
6: He that sendeth <H7971> a message <H1697> by the hand <H3027> of a fool <H3684> cutteth off <H7096> the feet, <H7272> [and] drinketh <H8354> damage. <H2555>
7: The legs <H7785> of the lame <H6455> are not equal: <H1809> so [is] a parable <H4912> in the mouth <H6310> of fools. <H3684>
8: As he that bindeth <H6872> <H6887> a stone <H0068> in a sling, <H4773> so [is] he that giveth <H5414> honour <H3519> to a fool. <H3684>
9: [As] a thorn <H2336> goeth up <H5927> into the hand <H3027> of a drunkard, <H7910> so [is] a parable <H4912> in the mouth <H6310> of fools. <H3684>
10: The great <H7227> [God] that formed <H2342> all [things] both rewardeth <H7936> the fool, <H3684> and rewardeth <H7936> transgressors. <H5674>
11: As a dog <H3611> returneth <H7725> to his vomit, <H6892> [so] a fool <H3684> returneth <H8138> to his folly. <H0200>
12: Seest <H7200> thou a man <H0376> wise <H2450> in his own conceit? <H5869> [there is] more hope <H8615> of a fool <H3684> than of him.
13: The slothful <H6102> [man] saith, <H0559> [There is] a lion <H7826> in the way; <H1870> a lion <H0738> [is] in the streets. <H7339>
14: [As] the door <H1817> turneth <H5437> upon his hinges, <H6735> so [doth] the slothful <H6102> upon his bed. <H4296>
15: The slothful <H6102> hideth <H2934> his hand <H3027> in [his] bosom; <H6747> it grieveth <H3811> him to bring it again <H7725> to his mouth. <H6310>
16: The sluggard <H6102> [is] wiser <H2450> in his own conceit <H5869> than seven <H7651> men that can render <H7725> a reason. <H2940>
17: He that passeth by, <H5674> [and] meddleth <H5674> with strife <H7379> [belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh <H2388> a dog <H3611> by the ears. <H0241>
18: As a mad <H3856> [man] who casteth <H3384> firebrands, <H2131> arrows, <H2671> and death, <H4194>
19: So [is] the man <H0376> [that] deceiveth <H7411> his neighbour, <H7453> and saith, <H0559> Am not I in sport? <H7832>
20: Where no <H0657> wood <H6086> is, [there] the fire <H0784> goeth out: <H3518> so where [there is] no talebearer, <H5372> the strife <H4066> ceaseth. <H8367>
21: [As] coals <H6352> [are] to burning coals, <H1513> and wood <H6086> to fire; <H0784> so [is] a contentious <H4079> <H4066> man <H0376> to kindle <H2787> strife. <H7379>
22: The words <H1697> of a talebearer <H5372> [are] as wounds, <H3859> and they go down <H3381> into the innermost parts <H2315> of the belly. <H0990>
23: Burning <H1814> lips <H8193> and a wicked <H7451> heart <H3820> [are like] a potsherd <H2789> covered <H6823> with silver <H3701> dross. <H5509>
24: He that hateth <H8130> dissembleth <H5234> with his lips, <H8193> and layeth up <H7896> deceit <H4820> within <H7130> him;
25: When he speaketh <H6963> fair, <H2603> believe <H0539> him not: for [there are] seven <H7651> abominations <H8441> in his heart. <H3820>
26: [Whose] hatred <H8135> is covered <H3680> by deceit, <H4860> his wickedness <H7451> shall be shewed <H1540> before the [whole] congregation. <H6951>
27: Whoso diggeth <H3738> a pit <H7845> shall fall <H5307> therein: and he that rolleth <H1556> a stone, <H0068> it will return <H7725> upon him.
28: A lying <H8267> tongue <H3956> hateth <H8130> [those that are] afflicted <H1790> by it; and a flattering <H2509> mouth <H6310> worketh <H6213> ruin. <H4072>
