1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,
2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying,
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass,
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly,
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool
7 The legs of the lame hang loose;
8 As one that bindeth a stone in a sling,
9 As
10 As
11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit,
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way;
14 As
15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish;
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit
17 He that passeth by,
18 As a madman who casteth firebrands,
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor,
20 For lack of wood the fire goeth out;
21 As
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not;
26 Though
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein;
28 A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded;
