Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 33

26:1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honour [is] not comely for a fool.

26:2 As a bird by wandering, as a swallow by flying, So reviling without cause doth not come.

26:3 A whip is for a horse, a bridle for an ass, And a rod for the back of fools.

26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou be like to him -- even thou.

26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.

26:6 He is cutting off feet, he is drinking injury, Who is sending things by the hand of a fool.

26:7 Weak have been the two legs of the lame, And a parable in the mouth of fools.

26:8 As one who is binding a stone in a sling, So [is] he who is giving honour to a fool.

26:9 A thorn hath gone up into the hand of a drunkard, And a parable in the mouth of fools.

26:10 Great [is] the Former of all, And He is rewarding a fool, And is rewarding transgressors.

26:11 As a dog hath returned to its vomit, A fool is repeating his folly.

26:12 Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eyes, More hope of a fool than of him!

26:13 The slothful hath said, `A lion [is] in the way, A lion [is] in the broad places.'

26:14 The door turneth round on its hinge, And the slothful on his bed.

26:15 The slothful hath hid his hand in a dish, He is weary of bringing it back to his mouth.

26:16 Wiser [is] the slothful in his own eyes, Than seven [men] returning a reason.

26:17 Laying hold on the ears of a dog, [Is] a passer-by making himself wrath for strife not his own.

26:18 As [one] pretending to be feeble, Who is casting sparks, arrows, and death,

26:19 So hath a man deceived his neighbour, And hath said, `Am not I playing?'

26:20 Without wood is fire going out, And without a tale-bearer, contention ceaseth,

26:21 Coal to burning coals, and wood to fire, And a man of contentions to kindle strife.

26:22 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart.

26:23 Silver of dross spread over potsherd, [Are] burning lips and an evil heart.

26:24 By his lips doth a hater dissemble, And in his heart he placeth deceit,

29:6 In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare , And the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 29:7 The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor , The wicked understandeth not knowledge. 29:8 Men of scorning ensnare a city , And the wise turn back anger. 29:9 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry , And he hath laughed, and there is no rest. 29:10 Men of blood hate the perfect , And the upright seek his soul. 29:11 A fool bringeth out all his mind , And the wise till afterwards restraineth it. 29:12 A ruler who is attending to lying words , All his ministers [are] wicked. 29:13 The poor and the man of frauds have met together , Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both. 29:14 a king that is judging truly the poor , His throne for ever is established. 29:15 A rod and reproof give wisdom , And a youth let away is shaming his mother. 29:16 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth,

30:24 Four [are] little ones of earth , And they are made wiser than the wise: 30:25 The ants [are] a people not strong , And they prepare in summer their food, 30:26 Conies [are] a people not strong , And they place in a rock their house, 30:27 A king there is not to the locust , And it goeth out -- each one shouting, 30:28 A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king. 30:29 Three there are going well , Yea, four are good in going: 30:30 An old lion -- mighty among beasts , That turneth not back from the face of any, 30:31 A girt one of the loins , or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him. 30:32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth! 30:33 For the churning of milk bringeth out butter , And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood , And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife! 31:1 Words of Lemuel a king , a declaration that his mother

25:9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not, 25:10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame , And thine evil report turn not back. 25:11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver , [Is] the word spoken at its fit times. 25:12 A ring of gold , and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear. 25:13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest , [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth. 25:14 Clouds and wind , and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift. 25:15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded , And a soft tongue breaketh a bone. 25:16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it. 25:17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house , Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee. 25:18 A maul, and a sword , and a sharp arrow , [Is] the man
