Proverbs 26 [Context] [Commentary] 
|
| 15. |
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. |
| 16. |
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. |
| 17. |
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. |
| 18. |
As a mad man who casteth fire-brands, arrows, and death, |
| 19. |
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport? |
| 20. |
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth. |
| 21. |
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. |
| 22. |
The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. |
| 23. |
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. |
| 24. |
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; |
| 25. |
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. |
| 26. |
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shown before the whole congregation. |
| 27. |
Whoever diggeth a pit shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. |
| 28. |
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. |
