  1 G5618 As G1408.1 dew G1722 in G281.1 harvest, G2532 and G5618 as G5205 rain G1722 in G2330 summer, G3779 so G3756 [3not G1510.2.3 2is G878 4 seemly for a fool G5092 1honor].
  2 G5618 As G3732 birds G4070.3 [3spread out to fly G2532 1and G4765.1 2sparrows], G3779 so G685 [2oath G3152 1a vain] G3756 shall not G1904 come unto G3762 one thing .
  3 G5618 As G3148 a whip G2462 to a horse, G2532 and G2759 a spur G3688 to a donkey, G3779 so G4464 a rod G1484 [2nation G3892.1 1to a lawbreaking].
  4 G3361 Do not G611 give an answer G878 to a fool G2596 according to G3588   G1565 that one's G877 folly, G2443 lest G3361   G3664 [2likened G1096 1you should become] G1473 to him!
  5 G235 But G611 answer G878 a fool G4314 to G3588 the G1565 folly of that one! G877   G2443 lest G3361   G5316 he should appear G4680 wise G3844 of G1438 himself.
  6 G1537 [9by G3588   G3598 10his own ways G1438   G3681 8scorn G4160 7shall cause G3588 1The G649 2one sending G1223 4through G32 6messenger G878 5a foolish G3056 3a word].
  7 G851 Remove G4197 the goings G4628 of legs, G2532 and G3942 proverbs G1537 from out of G4750 the mouth G878 of fools.
  8 G3739 The one who G587.1 binds up G3037 a stone G1722 in G4969.2 a sling, G3664 is likened G1510.2.3   G3588 to the one G1325 giving G878 a fool G1391 glory.
  9 G173 Thorn-bushes G5453 germinate G1722 in G5495 the hand G3588 of the G3183 intoxicated; G1397 and servitude G1161   G1722 in G5495 the hand G3588   G878 of fools.
  10 G4183 [5much G5492 4is tossed 6by a storm G3956 1All G4561 2 the flesh G878 3of fools]; G4937 [3is destroyed G1063 1for G3588   G1611 2their ecstasy]. G1473  
  11 G5618 As G2965 a dog G3752 whenever G1904 it comes G1909 upon G3588   G1438 its own G1691.1 vomit, G2532 and G3404.1 [2detested G1096 1becomes]; G3779 so G878 a fool G3588 [2 to G1438 3his own G2549 3evil G390 1returning], G1909 unto G3588   G1438 his own G266 sin.
  12 G1492 I beheld G435 a man G1380 seeming G3844 [3of G1438 4himself G4680 2wise G1510.1 1to be], G1680 [4 more hope G3305 1however G2192 3had G3123 5rather than G878 2a fool] G1473 he.
  13 G3004 [2says G3636 1 The lazy one] G649 when being sent G1519 into G3598 the way, G3023 A lion G1722 is in G3588 the G3598 ways, G1722 and in G1161   G3588 the G4113 squares G5406.1 are murderers.
  14 G5618 As G2374 a door G4762 turns G1909 upon G3588 the G4765.4 hinge, G3779 so G3636 the lazy one G1909 upon G3588   G2825 his bed. G1473  
  15 G2928 [2hiding G3636 1 The lazy one] G3588 the G5495 hand G1722 in G3588   G2859 his bosom G1473   G3756 shall not G1410 be able G2018 to bring it G1909 unto G3588 the G4750 mouth.
  16 G4680 [3wiser G1438 4to himself G3636 1 The lazy one G5316 2appears] G3588   G1722 in G4140 fulfilling G608.4 transmitting G31 a message.
  17 G5618 As G3588 the G2902 one holding G2771.1 the tail G2965 of a dog; G3779 so G3588 the one G4291 setting himself over G245 a stranger's G2920 case.
  18 G5618 As G3588 the ones G2390 needing healing G4261 propounds G3056 words G1519 unto G444 men, G3588 and the G1161   G528 [2one meeting G3588 3the G3056 4word G4413 1first] G5286.3 shall be tripped up.
  19 G3779 Thus G3956 are all G3588 the G1748 ones lying in wait G3588   G1438 for their own G5384 friends; G3752 and whenever G1161   G5456.1 they should be caught in the act, G3004 they say G3754 that, G3815 In playing G4238 I acted.
  20 G1722 With G4183 much G3586 wood G2281.1 [2flourishes G4442 1fire]; G3699 but where G1161   G3756 there is no G1510.2.3   G1337.1 man at variance with others G2270 [2is stilled G3163 1a fight].
  21 G2077.1 A grate G440 for coals, G2532 and G3586 wood G4442 for a fire; G435 [3man G1161 1and G3060 2a reviling] G1519 for G5016 a disturbance G3163 to a fight.
  22 G3056 Words G2771.2 of mischievous men G3120 are soft; G3778 but these G1161   G5180 beat G1519 into G5009 the inner chambers G4698 of the intestines.
  23 G694 Silver G1325 given G3326 with G1388 treachery, G5618 is as G3749.1 a potsherd G2233.2 esteemed. G5491 [2lips G3006 1Smooth G2588 5heart G2572 3cover G3077.1 4a distressed].
  24 G5491 [5with his lips G3956 4all things G1962 3assents to G607.3 2weeping G2190 1An enemy]; G1722 but in G1161   G3588 the G2588 heart G5044.1 he contrives G1388 treachery.
  25 G1437 If G1473 [3should beseech you G1189   G3588 1the G2190 2enemy] G3173 with a great G3588   G5456 voice, G3361 do not G3982 yield G1473 to him; G2033 [3seven G1063 1for G1510.2.6 2there are] G4189 wickednesses G1722 in G3588   G2588 his heart. G1473  
  26 G3588 The one G2928 hiding G2189 hatred G4921 stands together G1388 with treachery, G1458.1 and he conceals G1161   G3588 the things G1438 of his own G266 [2sins G2104.1 1well-known] G1722 in G4892 the sanhedrin.
  27 G3588 The G3736 one digging G998.1 a pit G3588 for his G4139 neighbor G1706 shall fall G1519 into G1473 it; G3588 and the G1161   G2947 one rolling G3037 a stone, G1909 [2upon G1438 3himself G2947 1rolls it].
  28 G1100 [2tongue G5571 1A lying] G3404 detests G225 truth; G4750 [3mouth G1161 1and G790.1 2an open-mouthed] G4160 makes G181 commotion.

  8 H6872 H6887 [H8675] As he that bindeth H68 a stone H4773 in a sling, H5414 [H8802] so is he that giveth H3519 glory H3684 to a fool.

  22 H1697 The words H5372 of a talebearer H3859 [H8693] are as wounds, H3381 [H8804] and they go down H2315 into the innermost parts H990 of the belly.
  23 H1814 [H8801] Burning H8193 lips H7451 and a wicked H3820 heart H2789 are like a potsherd H6823 [H8794] covered H3701 with silver H5509 dross.

  25 H6963 When he speaketh H2603 [H8762] favourably, H539 [H8686] believe H7651 him not: for there are seven H8441 abominations H3820 in his heart.
  26 H8135 Whose hatred H3680 [H8691] is covered H4860 by deceit, H7451 his evil H1540 [H8735] shall be revealed H6951 before the whole congregation.

  28 H8267 A lying H3956 tongue H8130 [H8799] hateth H1790 those that are crushed H2509 by it; and a flattering H6310 mouth H6213 [H8799] worketh H4072 ruin.

Wycliffe(i) 1 As snow in somer, and reyn in heruest; so glorie is vnsemeli to a fool. 2 For whi as a brid fliynge ouer to hiy thingis, and a sparowe goynge in to vncerteyn; so cursing brouyt forth with out resonable cause schal come aboue in to sum man. 3 Beting to an hors, and a bernacle to an asse; and a yerde in the bak of vnprudent men. 4 Answere thou not to a fool bi his foli, lest thou be maad lijk hym. 5 Answere thou a fool bi his fooli, lest he seme to him silf to be wijs. 6 An haltinge man in feet, and drinkinge wickidnesse, he that sendith wordis by a fonned messanger. 7 As an haltinge man hath faire leggis in veyn; so a parable is vnsemeli in the mouth of foolis. 8 As he that casteth a stoon in to an heep of mercurie; so he that yyueth onour to an vnwijs man. 9 As if a thorn growith in the hond of a drunkun man; so a parable in the mouth of foolis. 10 Doom determyneth causis; and he that settith silence to a fool, swagith iris. 11 As a dogge that turneth ayen to his spuyng; so is an vnprudent man, that rehersith his fooli. 12 Thou hast seyn a man seme wijs to hym silf; an vnkunnyng man schal haue hope more than he. 13 A slow man seith, A lioun is in the weie, a liounnesse is in the foot pathis. 14 As a dore is turned in his hengis; so a slow man in his bed. 15 A slow man hidith hise hondis vndur his armpit; and he trauelith, if he turneth tho to his mouth. 16 A slow man semeth wysere to hym silf, than seuene men spekynge sentensis. 17 As he that takith a dogge bi the eeris; so he that passith, and is vnpacient, and is meddlid with the chiding of anothir man. 18 As he is gilti, that sendith speris and arowis in to deth; 19 so a man that anoieth gilefuli his frend, and whanne he is takun, he schal seie, Y dide pleiynge. 20 Whanne trees failen, the fier schal be quenchid; and whanne a priuy bacbitere is withdrawun, stryues resten. 21 As deed coolis at quic coolis, and trees at the fier; so a wrathful man reisith chidyngis. 22 The wordis of a pryuei bacbitere ben as symple; and tho comen til to the ynneste thingis of the herte. 23 As if thou wolt ourne a vessel of erthe with foul siluer; so ben bolnynge lippis felouschipid with `the werste herte. 24 An enemy is vndirstondun bi hise lippis, whanne he tretith giles in the herte. 25 Whanne he `makith low his vois, bileue thou not to hym; for seuene wickidnessis ben in his herte. 26 The malice of hym that hilith hatrede gilefuli, schal be schewid in a counsel. 27 He that delueth a diche, schal falle in to it; and if a man walewith a stoon, it schal turne ayen to hym. 28 A fals tunge loueth not treuth; and a slidir mouth worchith fallyngis.
Coverdale(i) 1 Like as snowe is not mete in sommer, ner rayne in haruest: euen so is worshipe vnsemely for a foole. 2 Like as ye byrde and the swalowe take their flight and fle here and there, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shal not light vpon a man. 3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, and a rodde to the fooles backe. 4 Geue not the foole an answere after his foolishnesse, lest thou become like vnto him: 5 but make ye foole an answere to his foolishnesse, lest he be wyse in his owne coceate. 6 He is lame of his fete, yee droncken is he in vanite, that comitteth eny thinge to a foole. 7 Like as it is an vnsemely thige to haue legges & yet to halte, eue so is a parable in ye fooles mouth. 8 He yt setteth a foole in hye dignite, yt is eue as yf a man dyd cast a precious stone vpo ye galous. 9 A parable in a fooles mouth, is like a thorne yt pricketh a droncken man in ye hande. 10 A man of experience discerneth all thinges well, but whoso hyreth a foole, hyreth soch one as wyl take no hede. 11 Like as the dogg turneth agayne to his vomite, euen so a foole begynneth his foolishnesse agayne afresh. 12 Yf thou seyest a man yt is wyse in his owne conceate, there is more hope in a foole then in hi. 13 The slouthfull sayeth: there is a leoparde in ye waye, and a lyon in ye myddest of the stretes. 14 Like as the dore turneth aboute vpon the tresholde, euen so doth the slouthfull welter himself in his bedd. 15 The slouthfull body thrusteth his hode in to his bosome, and it greueth him to put it agayne to his mouth. 16 The slogarde thinketh him self wyser, then vij. men that sytt and teach. 17 Who so goeth by and medleth with other mens strife, he is like one yt taketh a dogg by ye eares. 18 Like as one shuteth deadly arowes and dartes out of a preuy place, euen so doth a dyssembler with his neghboure, 19 And then sayeth he: I dyd it but in sporte. 20 Where no wodd is, there the fyre goeth out: and where the bacbyter is taken awaye, there the strife ceaseth. 21 Coles kyndle heate, and wodd ye fyre: euen so doth a braulinge felowe stere vp variaunce. 22 A slaunderers wordes are like flatery, but they pearse ye inwarde partes of ye body. 23 Venymous lippes & a wicked herte, are like a potsherde couered wt syluer drosse. 24 An enemie dyssembleth with his lippes, and in the meane season he ymagineth myschefe: 25 but wha he speaketh fayre, beleue him not, for there are seuen abhominacios in his herte. 26 Who so kepeth euell will secretly to do hurte, his malyce shalbe shewed before the whole congregacion. 27 Who so dyggeth vp a pytt, shal fal therin: and he yt weltreth a stone, shal stomble vpon it hymselfe. 28 A dyssemblynge tonge hateth one that rebuketh him, and a flaterige mouth worketh myschefe.
MSTC(i) 1 Like as snow is not mete in summer, nor rain in harvest; even so is worship unseemly for a fool. 2 Like as the bird, and the swallow take their flight and flee here and there; so the curse that is given in vain, shall not light upon a man. 3 Unto the horse belongeth a whip, to the Ass a bridle, and a rod to the fool's back. 4 Give not the fool an answer after his foolishness, lest thou become like unto him; 5 but make the fool an answer to his foolishness, lest he be wise in his own conceit. 6 He is lame of his feet, yea drunken is he in vanity, that committeth any message to a fool. 7 Like as in a lame man his legs are not equal, even so is a parable in the fool's mouth. 8 He that setteth a fool in high dignity, that is even as if a man would bind a stone in a sling. 9 A parable in a fools mouth is like a thorn that pricketh a drunken man in the hand. 10 A man of experience discerneth all things well, but whoso hireth a fool, hireth such one as will take no heed. 11 Like as the dog turneth again to his vomit, even so a fool beginneth his foolishness again afresh. 12 If thou seest a man that is wise in his own conceit, there is more hope in a fool than in him. 13 The slothful sayeth, "There is a leopard in the way, and a lion in the midst of the streets." 14 Like as the door turneth about upon the threshold, even so doth the slothful welter himself in his bed. 15 The slothful body thrusteth his hand into his bosom, and it grieveth him to put it again to his mouth. 16 The sluggard thinketh himself wiser than seven men that sit and teach. 17 Whoso goeth by and meddleth with other men's strife, he is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. 18 Like as one shooteth deadly arrows and darts out of a privy place, even so doth a dissembler with his neighbour. 19 And then sayeth he, "I did it but in sport!" 20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out; and where the backbiter is taken away, there the strife ceaseth. 21 Coals kindle heat, and wood the fire; even so doth a brawling fellow stir up variance. 22 A slanderer's words are like flattery, but they pierce the inward parts of the body. 23 Venomous lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. 24 An enemy dissembleth with his lips, and in the mean season he imagineth mischief; 25 but when he speaketh fair, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 Whoso keepeth evil will secretly, to do hurt, his malice shall be showed before the whole congregation. 27 Whoso diggeth up a pit, shall fall therein; and he that weltereth a stone, shall stumble upon it himself. 28 A dissembling tongue hateth one that rebuketh him; and a flattering mouth worketh mischief.
Matthew(i) 1 Like as snow is not mete in sommer, nor raine in haruest: euen so is worship vnsemelye for a foole 2 Like as the bryd and the swalowe take their flyght and fle here and ther, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shall not lighte vpon a man. 3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, and a rodde to the fooles backe. 4 Geue not the foole an answere after hys folyshnesse, lest thou become lyke vnto hym: 5 but make the fole an answer to his folishnes, lest he be wise in his own conceat. 6 He is lame of his fete yea dronken is he in vanite, that committeth any thing to a fole. 7 Like as it is an vnsemely thing to haue legs & yet to halt euen so is a parable in the foles mouthe. 8 He that setteth a foole in hye dignity, that is euen as if a man did cast a precious stone vp on the gallous. 9 A parable in a fooles mouth is lyke a thorne that prycketh a dronken man in the hand. 10 A man of experience dyscerneth all thynges well, but whoso hyreth a foole, hyreth such one as will take no hede. 11 Lyke as the dogge turueth agayne to hys vomyte, euen so a foole beginneth hys folishnesse agayne a fresh. 12 If thou seiest a man that is wyse in his owne conceate, there is more hope in a fole then in him. 13 The slouthful sayeth: there is a leopard in the way, and a lion in the myddest of the stretes. 14 Lyke as the dore turneth aboute vpon the thresholde, euen so doth the slouthfull welter hym self in his bedde. 15 The slouthful bodye thrusteth his hand into his bosome, and it greueth him to put it agayne to his mouth. 16 The slogard thynketh hym selfe wyser then? .vij. men that sit & teach. 17 Who so goeth by & medleth wyth other mens stryfe, he is lyke one that taketh a dog by the eares. 18 Lyke os one shutteth deadly arowes and dartes out of a preuy place, euen so doth a dissembler wyth his neighboure. 19 And then saith he: I dyd it but in sporte. 20 Where no wodde is, there the fyre goeth oute: and where the backcbyter is taken awaye, there the stryfe ceaseth. 21 Coales kyndle heate, and wode the fire: euen so doth a braulynge felowe stere vp varyaunce. 22 A slaunderers wordes are lyke flaterye, but they pearse the inwarde partes of the bodye. 23 Venimous lippes and a wicked herte, are lyke a potsherde couered with syluer drosse. 24 An enemy dissembleth with hys lyps, and in the meane season he ymagineth mischefe: 25 but when he speaketh fayre, beleue hym not, for ther are seuen abhomynacons in hys herte. 26 Who so kepeth euel wil, secretly to do hurte, his malice shalbe shewed before the whole congregacion. 27 Who diggeth vp a pyt, shal fal therin: and he that weltreth a stone shal stomble vpon it him selfe. 28 A dissembling tong hateth one that rebuketh hym, and a flattering mouth worketh mischefe.
Great(i) 1 Like as snowe is not mete in sommer, ner rayne in haruest, euen so is worshipe vnsemely for a foole. 2 Lyke as the byrde & the swalowe take theyr flyght & fle here & there, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shall not lyght vpon a man. 3 Unto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, & a rodde to the fooles backe. 4 Geue not the foole an answere after his foolyshnesse, lest thou become lyke vnto him: 5 but make the foole an answere to his foolyshnesse, lest he be wyse in his awne conceate. 6 He is lame of his fete, yee droncken is he in vanyte, that committeth eny message to a foole. 7 Lyke as in a lame man his legges ar not equall, euen so is a parable in the fooles mouth. 8 He that setteth a foole in hie dignite, that is euen as yf a man put a stone in a slynge. 9 A parable in a fooles mouth is lyke a thorne that prycketh a droncken man in the hande. 10 A man of experience discerneth all thinges wel: but he that putteth the fole to silence endeth the stryfe. 11 Lyke as the dogg turneth agayne to his vomyte, euen so a foole beginneth hys folyshnesse agayne a fresh. 12 If thou seest a man that is wyse in his awne conceate, there is more hope in a foole then in hym. 13 The slouthfull sayeth: there is a lyon in the waye, & a lyon in the myddest of the stretes. 14 Lyke as the dore turneth aboute vpon the henges, euen so doth the slouthfull welter him selfe in his bedd. 15 The slouthfull body thrusteth his hande into hys bosome, and it greueth hym to put it agayne to his mouth. 16 The slogarde thinketh him selfe wyser, then seuen men that sytt & teach. 17 Who so goeth by & medleth wt other mens stryfe he is lyke one that taketh a dogge by the eares. 18 Lyke as a madd man that castith fyre brandes, and shoteth deadly arowes and dartes euen so doth a dissembler wt his neyghboure. 19 And then sayth he I dyd it but in sporte. 20 Where no wodd is, there the fyre goeth out: Euen so where the tale betrayer is taken awaye, there the strife ceaseth. 21 Coles kyndle heate, & wodd the fyre: euen so doth a brauling felowe stere vp variaunce. 22 A taleberars wordes are lyke men that stryke with hammers, but they pearse the inwarde partes of the body. 23 Uenymous lyppes and a wycked herte, are lyke a potsherde couered with syluer drosse. 24 And enemye shalbe knowen by his talkyng, & in the meane season he ymagyneth myschefe, 25 but when he speaketh fayre, beleue him not, for there are seuen abhominacions in his herte. 26 Who so kepeth euell will, secretly to do hurte, his malyce shalbe shewed before the whole congregacyon. 27 Who so dyggeth vp a pytt, shall fall therin: & he that weltreth a stone, shall stomble vpon it him selfe. 28 A dyssemblinge tonge hateth one that rebuketh hym, and a flatterynge mouth worcketh myschefe.
Geneva(i) 1 As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole. 2 As the sparowe by flying, and the swallow by flying escape, so the curse that is causeles, shall not come. 3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a bridle, and a rod to the fooles backe. 4 Answer not a foole according to his foolishnes, least thou also be like him. 5 Answere a foole according to his foolishnes, least he be wise in his owne conceite. 6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, is as he that cutteth off the feete, and drinketh iniquitie. 7 As they that lift vp the legs of the lame, so is a parable in a fooles mouth. 8 As the closing vp of a precious stone in an heape of stones, so is he that giueth glory to a foole. 9 As a thorne standing vp in the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fooles. 10 The excellent that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole and rewardeth the transgressers. 11 As a dog turneth againe to his owne vomit, so a foole turneth to his foolishnes. 12 Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him. 13 The slouthfull man sayth, A lyon is in the way: a lyon is in the streetes. 14 As the doore turneth vpon his hinges, so doeth the slouthfull man vpon his bed. 15 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe to his mouth. 16 The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason. 17 He that passeth by and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto him, is as one that taketh a dog by the eares. 18 As he that faineth himselfe mad, casteth fire brands, arrowes, and mortall things, 19 So dealeth the deceitfull man with his friend and sayth, Am not I in sport? 20 Without wood the fire is quenched, and without a talebearer strife ceaseth. 21 As ye cole maketh burning coles, and wood a fire, so the contentious man is apt to kindle strife. 22 The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly. 23 As siluer drosse ouerlayde vpon a potsheard, so are burning lips, and an euill heart. 24 He that hateth, will counterfaite with his lips, but in his heart he layeth vp deceite. 25 Though he speake fauourably, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart. 26 Hatred may be couered by deceite: but the malice thereof shall be discouered in the congregation. 27 He that diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it shall returne vnto him. 28 A false tongue hateth the afflicted, and a flattering mouth causeth ruine.
Bishops(i) 1 Lyke as snowe is [not meete] in sommer and rayne in haruest: euen so is worship vnseemely for a foole 2 As the byrde and the swalowe take their flight and flee here and there: so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shall not light vpon a man 3 Unto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a brydle: and a rod to the fooles backe 4 Geue not the foole an aunswere after his foolishnes, lest thou become like vnto him 5 But make the foole an aunswere to his foolishnesse, lest he be wyse in his owne conceipt 6 [As he that] cutteth of [his messengers] feete endamageth himselfe: so doth he that committeth a message to a foole 7 Like as in a lame man his legges are not equall: euen so is a parable in a fooles mouth 8 He that setteth a foole in hye dignitie, that is euen as if a man would bynde a stone in a sling 9 As is a thorne in the hande of a drunkarde: so is a parable in a fooles mouth 10 The mightie that fourmed al thinges, rewardeth the fooles & transgressours 11 Like as the dogge turneth agayne to his owne vomite: euen so a foole beginneth his foolishnes agayne afreshe 12 If thou seest a man that is wise in his owne conceipt: there is more hope in a foole, then in hym 13 The slouthfull saith, there is a lion in the way, and a lion in the middest of the streates 14 Like as the doore turneth about vpon the hynges: euen so doth the slouthfull walter him selfe in his bed 15 The slouthfull body thrusteth his hande into his bosome, and it greeueth hym to put it agayne to his mouth 16 The sluggarde thinketh him selfe wiser then seuen men that sit and teache 17 Who so goeth by and medleth with other mens strife: he is like one that taketh a dogge by the eares 18 As he that fayneth him selfe mad, casteth firebrandes, deadly arrowes and dartes 19 So doth a dissembler with his neighbour, and saith, am not I in sport 20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: euen so where the talebearer is taken away, there the strife ceasseth 21 As coles kindle heate, and wood the fire: euen so doth a brawling felowe stirre vp variaunce 22 A talebearers wordes are lyke men that strike with hammers, and they pearse the inwarde partes of the body 23 Burning lippes and a wicked heart, are like a potsharde couered with siluer drosse 24 An enemie wyll dissemble with his lippes, and layeth vp deceipt in his heart 25 But when he speaketh fayre, beleue hym not: for there are seuen abhominations in his heart 26 Hatred maye be couered by deceipt: but the malice therof shalbe shewed before the whole congregation 27 Who so diggeth vp a pit, shal fall therin: and he that rolleth vp a stone, it wyl returne vpon hym 28 A lying tongue hateth the afflicted: and a flattering mouth worketh mischiefe
DouayRheims(i) 1 As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool. 2 As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man. 3 A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools. 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise. 6 He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity. 7 As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools. 8 As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 9 As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 10 Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger. 11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly. 12 Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him. 13 The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads. 14 As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 15 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth. 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences. 17 As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man's quarrel. 18 As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death. 19 So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest. 20 When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease. 21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife. 22 The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly. 23 Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthern vessel adorned with silver dross. 24 An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit. 25 When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart. 26 He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly. 27 He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him. 28 A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
KJV(i) 1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. 6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. 7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools. 10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. 11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. 12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 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 firebrands, arrows, and death, 19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? 20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, 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 talebearer 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 shewed before the whole congregation. 27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: 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.

Thomson(i) 1 As dew at the ingathering of fruit and as rain in harvest: so is honour for a fool. 2 As birds and ostriches fly away; so a vain curse will not light on any one. 3 As a whip for a horse and a goad for an ass; so is a scourge for a sinful nation. 4 Answer not a fool conformably to his folly; let thou become like him. 5 But answer a fool according to his folly; that he may not think himself wise. 6 He who sendeth a message by a foolish messenger; by his own ways procureth disgrace. 7 As well take walking from the legs; as transgression from the mouth of fools. 8 He who bindeth a stone in a sling is like him who giveth honour to a fool. 9 Thorns stick in the hands of a drunken man; and slavery in the hand of fools. 10 All the flesh of fools is in a tempest: for their soundest sleep is broken. 11 As a dog becometh odious when he returneth to his vomit; so is a fool for his wickedness, when he returneth to his sin. There is a shame which leadeth to sin: and a shame which procureth glory and honour. 12 I have seen a man who thought himself wise: but there was more hope of a fool than of him. 13 A slothful man sent on a journey saith, There is a lion in the way and murderers in the streets. 14 As a door turneth on its hinges so doth a slothful man on his bed. 15 A slothful man having hid his hand in his bosom cannot bring it out to his mouth. 16 A slothful man thinketh himself wiser than him who in plenty carrieth a message. 17 He who meddleth with another's strife, is like one who taketh a dog by the tail. 18 As they who undertake to cure throw out words for men; and he who falleth in with the proposal will be first supplanted; 19 so all who ensnare their friends, when they are found out say, "I did it in sport." 20 By much fuel a fire is nourished: but where there is no stirrer up of quarrels, contention ceaseth. 21 A hearth is for coals and fuel for fire: and a contentious man for the bustle of strife. 22 The words of the crafty are soft: but they pierce the inmost recesses of the soul. 23 Silver given with deceit, should be accounted as a potsherd. Smooth lips disguise a wicked heart. 24 A weeping enemy assenteth to every thing with his lips: but in his heart he contriveth deceit. 25 Though an enemy intreat thee with a loud voice, believe him not: for in his heart there is seven fold wickedness. 26 He who concealeth enmity practiseth deceit; but being found out he discloseth his sins in publick assemblies. 27 May he who diggeth a pit for his neighbour fall into it; and he who rolleth a stone, roll it on himself. 28 A lying tongue hateth truth; and a flattering mouth Worketh ruin.

Brenton(i) 1 As dew in harvest, and as rain in summer, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 2 As birds and sparrows fly, so a curse shall not come upon any one without a cause. 3 As a whip for a horse, and a goad for an ass, so is a rod for a simple nation. 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou become like him. 5 Yet answer a fool according to his folly, lest he seem wise in his own conceit. 6 He that sends a message by a foolish messenger procures for himself a reproach from his own ways. 7 As well take away the motion of the legs, as transgression from the mouth of fools. 8 He that binds up a stone in a sling, is like one that gives glory to a fool. 9 Thorns grow in the hand of a drunkard, and servitude in the hand of fools. 10 All the flesh of fools endures much hardship; for their fury is brought to nought. 11 As when a dog goes to his own vomit, and becomes abominable, so is fool who returns in his wickedness to his own sin. (26:11A) {\I There is a shame that brings sin: and there is a shame {\I that is glory and grace.}} 12 I have seen a man who seemed to himself to be wise; but a fool had more hope than he. 13 A sluggard when sent on a journey says, There is a lion in the ways, and there are murderers in the streets. 14 As a door turns on the hinge, so does a sluggard on his bed. 15 A sluggard having hid his hand in his bosom, will not be able to bring it up to his mouth. 16 A sluggard seems to himself wiser than one who most satisfactorily brings back a message. 17 As he that lays hold of a dog's tail, so is he that makes himself the champion of another's cause. 18 As those who need correction put forth fair words to men, and he that first falls in with the proposal will be overthrown; 19 so are all that lay wait for their own friends, and when they are discovered, say, I did it in jest. 20 With much wood fire increases; but where there is not a double-minded man, strife ceases. 21 A hearth for coals, and wood for fire; and railing man for the tumult of strife. 22 The words of cunning knaves are soft; but they smite even to the inmost parts of the bowels. 23 Silver dishonestly given is to be considered as a potsherd: smooth lips cover a grievous heart. 24 A weeping enemy promises all things with his lips, but in his heart he contrives deceit. 25 Though thine enemy intreat thee with a loud voice, consent not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 He that hides enmity frames deceit: but being easily discerned, exposes his own sins in the public assemblies. 27 He that digs a pit for his neighbour shall fall into it: and he that rolls a stone, rolls it upon himself. 28 A lying tongue hates the truth; and an unguarded mouth causes tumults.

Leeser(i) 1 As snow is in summer, and as rain in harvest: so is honor not seemly to a fool. 2 As the bird cometh to flit away, as the swallow, to fly off: so will an undeserved curse not come to fulfillment. 3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back. 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest thou also become equal unto him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. 6 He choppeth off the feet, and drinketh vexation, that sendeth important messages by the hand of a fool. 7 Too feebly hang down the thighs on a lame man: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 8 As is the one that bindeth a stone fast in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool. 9 As a thorn that is come into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 10 A master injureth all things when he hireth a fool or hireth mere rovers. 11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so doth a fool repeat to act in his folly. 12 When thou seest a man wise in his own eyes, then is there more hope for a fool than for him. 13 The slothful saith, There is a leopard in the way: a lion is between the streets. 14 As a door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 15 Hath the slothful hidden his hand in the dish, it wearieth him to bring it back again to his mouth. 16 The slothful is wiser in his own eyes, than seven men that can give wise answers. 17 As is one that taketh hold of a dog by the ears, so is he that passing by becometh excited about a dispute which concerneth him not. 18 As one fatigueth himself shooting off firebrands, arrows, and death: 19 So is the man that hath cheated his neighbor, and saith, Behold, I am only jesting. 20 Where there is no wood, the fire goeth out: so where there is no whisperer, strife is silenced. 21 As charcoals are added to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man fitted to enkindle a dispute. 22 The words of a whisperer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost chambers of the body. 23 Like silver dross laid over an earthen vessel, so are burning lips with a bad heart. 24 With his lips dissembleth he that hateth, and within himself layeth he up deceit: 25 Though he make his voice sound ever so graciously, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 If one’s hatred be covered by deception, then shall be laid bare his wickedness before a whole assembly. 27 Whoso diggeth a pit will fall therein; and upon him that rolleth a stone, will it return. 28 A lying tongue hateth those that are crushed by it; and a flattering mouth prepareth others’ downfall.
YLT(i) 1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honour is not comely for a fool.
2 As a bird by wandering, as a swallow by flying, So reviling without cause doth not come.
3 A whip is for a horse, a bridle for an ass, And a rod for the back of fools.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou be like to him—even thou. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6 He is cutting off feet, he is drinking injury, Who is sending things by the hand of a fool. 7 Weak have been the two legs of the lame, And a parable in the mouth of fools. 8 As one who is binding a stone in a sling, So is he who is giving honour to a fool. 9 A thorn hath gone up into the hand of a drunkard, And a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Great is the Former of all, And He is rewarding a fool, And is rewarding transgressors.
11 As a dog hath returned to its vomit, A fool is repeating his folly.
12 Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eyes, More hope of a fool than of him!
13 The slothful hath said, `A lion is in the way, A lion is in the broad places.'
14 The door turneth round on its hinge, And the slothful on his bed.
15 The slothful hath hid his hand in a dish, He is weary of bringing it back to his mouth.
16 Wiser is the slothful in his own eyes, Than seven men returning a reason.
17 Laying hold on the ears of a dog, Is a passer-by making himself wrath for strife not his own.
18 As one pretending to be feeble, Who is casting sparks, arrows, and death, 19 So hath a man deceived his neighbour, And hath said, `Am not I playing?'
20 Without wood is fire going out, And without a tale-bearer, contention ceaseth, 21 Coal to burning coals, and wood to fire, And a man of contentions to kindle strife. 22 The words of a tale-bearer are as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down to the inner parts of the heart.
23 Silver of dross spread over potsherd, Are burning lips and an evil heart.
24 By his lips doth a hater dissemble, And in his heart he placeth deceit, 25 When his voice is gracious trust not in him, For seven abominations are in his heart. 26 Hatred is covered by deceit, Revealed is its wickedness in an assembly.
27 Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth.
28 A lying tongue hateth its bruised ones, And a flattering mouth worketh an overthrow!
JuliaSmith(i) 1 As snow in summer and as rain in harvest., so honor not becoming to the foolish one. 2 As the sparrow for wandering, as the swallow for flying, so the curse shall not come in vain. 3 A whip for the horse, the curb for the ass, and the rod for the back of the foolish. 4 Thou shalt not answer the foolish according to his folly lest thou shalt be like to him. 5 Answer the foolish according to his folly lest he shall be wise in his own eyes. 6 He drank violence, cutting off the feet, sending words by the hand of the foolish one. 7 The legs of the lame were weak, and a parable in the mouth of the foolish. 8 As a bundle of stones in a heap of stones, so he giving honor to the foolish one. 9 A thorn going up into the hand of a drunkard, a parable in the mouth of the foolish. 10 The great one piercing all, and he hired the foolish one, and those passing by. 11 As a dog turned back upon his vomit, the foolish one repeated in his folly. 12 Sawest thou a man wise in his eyes? hope is for the foolish one more than for him. 13 The slothful one said, A lion in the way; a lion between the broad places. 14 A door will turn upon its hinge, and the slothful upon his bed. 15 The slothful one hid his hand in the dish; he was weary to turn it back to his mouth. 16 The slothful one is wise in his eyes more than seven turning back a reason. 17 Laying hold upon the ears of a dog, he passing by overflowing upon strife not to him. 18 As a madman casting fiery darts, arrows and death, 19 So the man deceiving his neighbor and saying, Am I not sporting? 20 In the ceasing of wood, fire will go out: and in not being a tale-bearer, strife will subside. 21 As charcoal to burning coals and woods to fire, and a man of strifes to kindle strife. 22 The words of a tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly. 23 Silver dross covering over a pot-sherd, burning lips and an evil heart. 24 He hating will be known by his lips, and he will set deceit in his midst; 25 When his voice will compassionate, thou shalt not believe him, for seven abominations in his heart 26 Hatred will be covered by deceit, his evil will be revealed in the convocation. 27 He digging a pit shall fall into it: and he rolling a stone it shall turn back upon him. 28 A tongue of falsehood will hate its crushing, and a smooth mouth will make an overthrow.

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 2 As the wandering sparrow, as the flying swallow, so the curse that is causeless shall come home. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of fools. 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. 6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh damage. 7 The legs hang limp from the lame; so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 8 As a small stone in a heap of stones, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 9 As a thorn that cometh into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 10 A master performeth all things; but he that stoppeth a fool is as one that stoppeth a flood. 11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is a fool that repeateth his folly. 12 Seest thou a man wise in his own eyes? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 13 The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion in the way; yea, a lion is in the streets.' 14 The door is turning upon its hinges, and the sluggard is still upon his bed. 15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth him to bring it back to his mouth. 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men that give wise answer. 17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife not his own, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. 18 As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death; 19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith: 'Am not I in sport?' 20 Where no wood is, the fire goeth out; and where there is no whisperer, contention 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 whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the body. 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross. 24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him. 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 Though his hatred be concealed with deceit, his wickedness shall be revealed before the congregation. 27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him. 28 A lying tongue hateth those that are crushed by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Rotherham(i) 1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so, unbecoming to a dullard is honour.
2 As a sparrow in wandering, as a swallow in flying, so, a causeless curse, shall not alight.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the back of dullards.
4 Do not answer a dullard, according to his folly, lest, even thou thyself, become like him; 5 Answer a dullard according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes.
6 One who cutteth off feet, one who drinketh down wrong, is he who sendeth a message by the hand of a dullard. 7 Useless are the legs of the lame, and a proverb, in the mouth of a dullard. 8 Like tying a stone to a sling, so, is he that giveth honour, to a dullard. 9 A brier cometh into the hand of a drunken–man, a proverb into the mouth of dullards.
10 [As] an archer who woundeth every thing, [so] one who hireth a dullard, and a drunkard crossing the sea.
11 As, a dog, returneth onto his own vomit, a dullard, repeateth his folly.
12 Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eye,––more hope of a dullard, than of him!
13 Saith the sluggard, A roaring lion in the road! A tearing lion in the midst of the broadways.
14 The door, turneth on its hinges, and, the sluggard, upon his bed.
15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 Wiser is the sluggard in his own eyes, than, seven persons, who can answer with judgment.
17 As he who layeth hold of the ears of a dog, is a passer–by, who giveth vent to his wrath over a quarrel, not his!
18 As a madman throwing firebrands, arrows and death, 19 So, is a man who deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Was not, I, in sport?
20 Without wood a fire is quenched, and, where there is no tattler, strife is hushed. 21 Black coal to burning blocks, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man, for kindling strife. 22 the words of a tattler, are dainties, they, therefore go down into the chambers of the inner man.
23 Dross silver overlaid upon earthenware, so are burning lips, with a mischievous heart:
24 With his lips, the hater dissembleth, but, within himself, he layeth up deceit: 25 Though he make gracious his voice, do not trust him, for, seven abominations, are in his heart: 26 Hatred may clothe itself with guile, his wickedness shall be disclosed in the convocation.
27 He that diggeth a pit, thereinto, shall fall, and, he that rolleth a stone, upon himself, shall it return.
28 A false tongue, hateth them who are crushed by it, and, a flattering mouth, worketh occasion of stumbling.
CLV(i) 1 Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So glory is not comely for the stupid one." 2 Like the sparrow in its flitting, like the swallow in its flying, So a gratuitous malediction does not come to rest." 3 A whip for a horse, a bit for a donkey, And a club for the body of the stupid." 4 Do not answer a stupid man according to his folly, Lest you should become equal to him, even you." 5 Answer a stupid man according to his folly, Lest he should become wise in his own eyes." 6 He cuts away his feet, drinks violence, Who sends words by the hand of a stupid person." 7 The legs of a lame man are impoverished; So also a proverb in the mouth of the stupid. 8 Like tying up a stone in a slingshot, So is the giving of glory to the stupid one." 9 As a thistle comes up to the hand of a drunkard, So also a proverb to the mouth of the stupid." 10 Much travails forth all the more, Yet the hire of the stupid person and his hirer shall pass away." 11 As a cur returns to its vomit, So a stupid man repeats his folly." 12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more expectation for a stupid man than for him. 13 The slothful man says, There is a black lion in the road, A lion in the square!" 14 The door turns about on its hinges, And the slothful one on his couch." 15 The slothful man buries his hand into the dinner-bowl; He is too tired to bring it back to his mouth. 16 The slothful man is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who reply with discretion. 17 One who holds a cur fast by its ears Is the passer by who trespasses upon a contention not belonging to him. 18 Like a frantic man who shoots firebrands, arrows and death, 19 So is the man who deceives his associate And then says, Did I not make good sport? 20 When the wood reaches its limit, a fire is quenched, And when there is no babbler, a quarrel calms down." 21 Coal for embers and wood for fire, And a quarrelsome man to heat a contention." 22 The words of a babbler are like tidbits; They descend to the chambers of one's belly. 23 Silver dross overlaying earthenware, Such are slick lips when the heart is evil." 24 With his lips, one who hates dissembles, Yet within him he firmly sets deceit;" 25 When his voice sounds generous, do not believe him, For seven abhorrences are in his heart." 26 One's hatred can be covered by guile, But his evil shall be revealed in the assembly." 27 He who digs a pit shall fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it shall turn back upon him." 28 A false tongue hates those crushed by it, And a slick mouth works degradation."
BBE(i) 1 Like snow in summer and rain when the grain is being cut, so honour is not natural for the foolish. 2 As the sparrow in her wandering and the swallow in her flight, so the curse does not come without a cause. 3 A whip for the horse, a mouth-bit for the ass, and a rod for the back of the foolish. 4 Do not give to the foolish man a foolish answer, or you will be like him. 5 Give a foolish man a foolish answer, or he will seem wise to himself. 6 He who sends news by the hand of a foolish man is cutting off his feet and drinking in damage. 7 The legs of one who has no power of walking are hanging loose; so is a wise saying in the mouth of the foolish. 8 Giving honour to a foolish man is like attempting to keep a stone fixed in a cord. 9 Like a thorn which goes up into the hand of a man overcome by drink, so is a wise saying in the mouth of a foolish man. 10 Like an archer wounding all who go by, is a foolish man overcome by drink. 11 Like a dog going back to the food which he has not been able to keep down, is the foolish man doing his foolish acts over again. 12 Have you seen a man who seems to himself to be wise? There is more hope for the foolish than for him. 13 The hater of work says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 14 A door is turned on its pillar, and the hater of work on his bed. 15 The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him. 16 The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense. 17 He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by. 18 As one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death, 19 So is the man who gets the better of his neighbour by deceit, and says, Am I not doing so in sport? 20 Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended. 21 Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started. 22 The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach. 23 Smooth lips and an evil heart are like a vessel of earth plated with silver waste. 24 With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him; 25 When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils: 26 Though his hate is covered with deceit, his sin will be seen openly before the meeting of the people. 27 He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again. 28 A false tongue has hate for those who have clean hearts, and a smooth mouth is a cause of falling.

Without gossip, contention ceases. 21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife. 22 The words of a gossip are as tasty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts. 23 Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart. 24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart. 25 When his speech is charming, do not believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. 27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him. 28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

NSB(i) 1 Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor does not become a fool. 2 Like the bird by wandering, like the swallow by flying, so a curse without cause does not land. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back. 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own pride. 6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet, and drinks violence. 7 As the legs of the lame are not equal so is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 8 As he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool. 9 As a thorn goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 10 The great God who formed all things rewards the fool as well as the sinner with wages. 11 As a dog returns to his vomit so a fool returns to his folly. 12 See a man wise in his own conceit? »There is more hope for a fool than for him.« 13 The lazy man says: »There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.« 14 As the door turns on its hinges, so does the lazy man on his bed. 15 The lazy man hides his hand in his bosom. It wearies him to lift it to his mouth. 16 The lazy man is wiser in his own conceit than seven men who can answer with good sense. 17 He who meddles in someone else’s quarrel is like one who takes a dog by the ears. 18 This is like a mad man who throws firebrands, arrows, and death. 19 So is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says: »I was only joking.« 20 Without wood the fire goes out. Without a talebearer strife ceases. 21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle disputes. 22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts. 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a broken pottery covered with silver dross. 24 He who hates disguises with his lips, and stores deceit within him. 25 When he speaks kind words do not believe him. There are seven abominations in his heart. 26 When hatred is covered by deceit, wickedness is revealed to the entire congregation. 27 He who digs a pit will fall in it. He who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him. 28 A lying tongue hates those afflicted by it and a flattering mouth works ruin.
ISV(i) 1 On Fools Like snowfall in summer or rain at harvest time, so honor is inappropriate for a fool. 2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a swallow in flight, a curse without cause will not alight. 3 A whip is for the horses, a bridle is for the donkey, a rod is for the back of fools. 4 Don’t answer a fool according to his foolishness, or you will be just like him. 5 Answer a fool according to his foolishness, or he will think himself to be wise. 6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence. 7 Useless legs to the lame— that’s what a proverb quoted by a fool is. 8 Tying a stone to a sling— that’s what giving honor to a fool is. 9 A thorn in the hand of a drunkard— that’s what a proverb quoted by a fool is. 10 An archer who shoots at anyone— is like someone who hires a fool or anyone who passes by. 11 A dog that returns to its vomit is like a fool who reverts to his folly. 12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own opinion? There’s more hope for a fool than for him.
13 On LazinessThe lazy person claims, “There is a lion in the road! There’s a lion in the streets!” 14 The door turns on its hinges— as does the lazy person on his bed. 15 The lazy person buries his hand in the dish, but he’s too tired to bring it to his mouth again. 16 The lazy person is wiser in his own opinion than seven men who can give an appropriate response. 17 Picking up a dog by the ears— that’s what someone is like who meddles in another’s fight. 18 Like the maniac who shoots fiery darts and deadly arrows— 19 that’s what someone is like who lies to his neighbor and then says, “I was joking, wasn’t I?”
20 On Gossip and BackbitingWithout wood, the fire goes out. Without a gossip, contention stops. 21 Charcoal is to hot coals as wood is to fire; so also a quarrelsome man fuels strife. 22 The words of a gossip are like delicate morsels; they sink down deep within. 23 A clay vessel plated with a thin veneer of silver— that’s what smooth lips with a wicked heart are. 24 Someone who hates hides behind his words, harboring deceit within himself. 25 Though he speaks graciously, don’t believe him, for there are seven detestable things in his heart. 26 Though malice disguises itself with deception, its evil will be exposed publicly. 27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and the stone will come back on whoever starts it rolling. 28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
LEB(i) 1 Like snow in the summer and like rain at the harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool. 2 Like the sparrow is to fluttering and like the swallow is to flying, so an undeserved curse does not go forth. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly lest you become like him—even you. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or else he will be wise in his own eyes. 6 Like cutting off feet or drinking violence, so is he who sends messages in the hand of a fool. 7 Like legs that hang limp from a lame person, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 8 Like binding a stone in a sling, so is giving honor to a fool. 9 Like a thorn that goes up in the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 10 Like an archer who wounds everyone, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires passersby. 11 Like a dog returning to his vomit is a fool reverting to his folly. 12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 13 A lazy person says "A lion is in the road! A lion among the streets!" 14 The door turns on its hinge, and a lazy person on his bed. 15 A lazy person buries his hands in the dish; he is too tired to return it to his mouth. 16 A lazy person is wiser in his eyes than seven who answer discreetly. 17 Grabbing onto the ears of a dog passing by is one who meddles in a quarrel that is not his own. 18 Like a maniac who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death, 19 so is a man who deceives his neighbor, but says "Am I not joking?" 20 For lack of wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling will cease. 21 As charcoal is to hot embers and wood is to fire, so a man of quarrels is to kindling strife. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels, and they go down to the inner parts of the body. 23 Like ⌊impure silver⌋* which overlays an earthen vessel, so are smooth lips and an evil heart*. 24 On his lips, an enemy will pretend, but ⌊inside⌋* he will harbor deceit. 25 When he makes his voice gracious, do not believe him, for seven abominations are in his heart. 26 Though hatred is covered with guile, its evil will be exposed in the assembly. 27 He who digs a pit, in it he will fall, and he who rolls a stone, on him it will come back. 28 A tongue of deceit hates its victim, and a flattering mouth makes ruin.
BSB(i) 1 Like snow in summer and rain at harvest, honor does not befit a fool. 2 Like a fluttering sparrow or darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes. 6 Like cutting off one’s own feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool. 7 Like lame legs hanging limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. 8 Like binding a stone into a sling is the giving of honor to a fool. 9 Like a thorn that falls into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. 10 Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or passerby. 11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. 12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 13 The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams the public square!” 14 As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed. 15 The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth. 16 The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly. 17 Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own. 18 Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows, 19 so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!” 20 Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, a conflict ceases. 21 Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. 22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being. 23 Like glaze covering an earthen vessel are burning lips and a wicked heart. 24 A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart. 25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart. 26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. 27 He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him. 28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.

MLV(i) 1 As snow in summer and as rain in harvest, so honor is not becoming for a fool.
2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, so the curse that is causeless does not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like to him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he is wise in his own conceit.
6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet and drinks injury.
7 The legs of a lame man hang loose. So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 As he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 As a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool and he who hires those who pass by.
11 As a dog who returns to his vomit, is a fool who repeats his folly.
12 See a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope for a fool than of him.
13 The sluggard says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 The door turns upon its hinges, so does the sluggard upon his bed.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. It wearies him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men who can render a reason.
17 He who passes by and meddles with strife not his, is like he who takes a dog by the ears.
18 As a madman who casts firebrands, arrows and death, 19 so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, Am I not amusing?
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out and where there is no whisperer, contention ceases.
21 As coals are to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to inflame strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels and they go down into the innermost parts.
23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart are an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
24 He who hates masquerades with his lips, but he lays up deceit within him. 25 Because he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.

27 He who digs a pit will fall in it and he who rolls a stone, it will return upon him.

Luther1545(i) 1 Wie der Schnee im Sommer und Regen in der Ernte, also reimet sich dem Narren Ehre nicht. 2 Wie ein Vogel dahinfährt und eine Schwalbe fleugt, also ein unverdienter Fluch trifft nicht. 3 Dem Roß eine Geißel und dem Esel ein Zaum; und dem Narren eine Rute auf den Rücken. 4 Antworte dem Narren nicht mich seiner Narrheit, daß du ihm nicht auch gleich werdest. 5 Antworte aber dem Narren nach seiner Narrheit, daß er sich nicht weise lasse dünken. 6 Wer eine Sache durch einen törichten Boten ausrichtet, der ist wie ein Lahmer an Füßen und nimmt Schaden. 7 Wie einem Krüppel das Tanzen, also stehet den Narren an, von Weisheit reden. 8 Wer einem Narren Ehre anlegt, das ist, als wenn einer einen Edelstein auf den Rabenstein würfe. 9 Ein Spruch in eines Narren Mund ist wie ein Dornzweig, der in eines Trunkenen Hand sticht. 10 Ein guter Meister macht ein Ding recht; aber wer einen Hümpler dinget, dem wird's verderbt. 11 Wie ein Hund sein Gespeietes wieder frißt, also ist der Narr, der seine Narrheit wieder treibt. 12 Wenn du einen siehest, der sich weise dünket, da ist an einem Narren mehr Hoffnung denn an ihm. 13 Der Faule spricht: Es ist ein junger Löwe auf dem Wege und ein Löwe auf den Gassen. 14 Ein Fauler wendet sich im Bette wie die Tür in der Angel. 15 Der Faule verbirgt seine Hand in dem Topf, und wird ihm sauer, daß er sie zum Munde bringe. 16 Ein Fauler dünkt sich weiser denn sieben, die da Sitten lehren. 17 Wer vorgehet und sich menget in fremden Hader, der ist wie einer, der den Hund bei den Ohren zwacket. 18 Wie einer heimlich mit Geschoß und Pfeilen schießt und tötet, 19 also tut ein falscher Mensch mit seinem Nächsten und spricht danach: Ich habe gescherzt. 20 Wenn nimmer Holz da ist, so verlöscht das Feuer, und wenn der Verleumder weg ist, so höret der Hader auf. 21 Wie die Kohlen eine Glut und Holz ein Feuer, also richtet ein zänkischer Mann Hader an. 22 Die Worte des Verleumders sind wie Schläge und sie gehen durchs Herz. 23 Giftiger Mund und böses Herz ist wie ein Scherben mit Silberschaum überzogen. 24 Der Feind wird erkannt bei seiner Rede, wiewohl er im Herzen falsch ist. 25 Wenn er seine Stimme holdselig macht, so glaube ihm nicht; denn es sind sieben Greuel in seinem Herzen. 26 Wer den Haß heimlich hält, Schaden zu tun, des Bosheit wird vor der Gemeine offenbar werden. 27 Wer eine Grube macht, der wird dreinfallen; und wer einen Stein wälzet, auf den wird er kommen. 28 Eine falsche Zunge hasset, der ihn strafet; und ein Heuchelmaul richtet Verderben an.

  2 H6833 Wie ein Vogel H5110 dahinfährt H1866 und eine Schwalbe H5774 fliegt H2600 , also ein unverdienter H7045 Fluch H935 trifft nicht.
  3 H5483 Dem Roß H7752 eine Geißel H2543 und dem Esel H4964 einen Zaum H3684 und dem Narren H7626 eine Rute H1460 auf den Rücken!
  4 H6030 Antworte H3684 dem Narren H200 nicht nach seiner Narrheit H7737 , daß du ihm nicht auch gleich werdest.
  5 H6030 Antworte H3684 aber dem Narren H200 nach seiner Narrheit H2450 , daß er sich nicht weise H5869 lasse dünken .
  6 H1697 Wer eine Sache H3027 durch H3684 einen törichten H7971 Boten ausrichtet H7096 , der ist wie ein Lahmer H7272 an den Füßen H8354 und nimmt H2555 Schaden .
  7 H6455 H7785 Wie einem Krüppel H1809 das Tanzen H3684 H6310 , also steht den Narren H4912 an, von Weisheit zu reden.
  8 H3684 Wer einem Narren H3519 Ehre H5414 antut H6872 , das ist, als wenn H68 einer einen edlen Stein H4773 auf H6887 H6872 den Rabenstein würfe .
  9 H4912 Ein Spruch H3684 in eines Narren H6310 Mund H2336 ist wie ein Dornzweig H7910 , der in eines Trunkenen H3027 Hand H5927 sticht .
  10 H7227 Ein guter H2342 Meister macht H7936 ein Ding H7936 recht H7936 ; aber wer H3684 einen Stümper H7936 dingt H5674 , dem wird’s verderbt .
  11 H3611 Wie ein Hund H6892 sein Gespeites H7725 wieder H3684 frißt, also ist der Narr H200 , der seine Narrheit H8138 wieder treibt.
  12 H376 Wenn du einen H7200 siehst H2450 , der sich weise H5869 dünkt H3684 , da ist an einem Narren H8615 mehr Hoffnung denn an ihm.
  13 H6102 Der Faule H559 spricht H7826 : Es ist ein junger Löwe H1870 auf dem Wege H738 und ein Löwe H7339 auf den Gassen .
  14 H6102 Ein Fauler H5437 wendet H4296 sich im Bette H1817 wie die Tür H6735 in der Angel .
  15 H6102 Der Faule H2934 verbirgt H3027 seine Hand H6747 in dem Topf H3811 , und wird ihm sauer H6310 , daß er sie zum Munde H7725 bringe .
  16 H6102 Ein Fauler H5869 dünkt H2450 sich weiser H7651 denn sieben H2940 , die da Sitten H7725 lehren .
  17 H5674 Wer vorgeht H5674 und sich mengt H7379 in fremden Hader H3611 , der ist wie einer, der den Hund H241 bei den Ohren H2388 zwackt .
  18 H3856 Wie ein Unsinniger H2131 mit Geschoß H2671 und Pfeilen H3384 schießt H4194 und tötet,
  19 H7411 also tut ein falscher H376 Mensch H7453 mit seinem Nächsten H559 und spricht H7832 danach: Ich habe gescherzt .
  20 H657 Wenn nimmer H6086 Holz H3518 da ist, so verlischt H784 das Feuer H5372 ; und wenn der Verleumder H8367 weg ist, so hört H4066 der Hader H8367 auf .
  21 H6352 Wie die Kohlen H1513 eine Glut H6086 und Holz H784 ein Feuer H2787 , also facht H4066 H4079 ein zänkischer H376 Mann H7379 Hader H2787 an .
  22 H1697 Die Worte H5372 des Verleumders H3859 sind wie Schläge H3381 , und sie gehen H2315 H990 durchs Herz .
  23 H1814 Brünstige H8193 Lippen H7451 und böses H3820 Herz H2789 ist wie eine Scherbe H3701 H5509 , mit Silberschaum H6823 überzogen .
  24 H8130 Der Feind H5234 verstellt H8193 sich mit seiner Rede H7130 , und im H7130 Herzen H7896 ist H4820 er falsch .
  25 H6963 Wenn er seine H6963 Stimme H2603 holdselig H2603 macht H539 , so glaube H7651 ihm nicht; denn es sind sieben H8441 Greuel H3820 in seinem Herzen .
  26 H8135 Wer den Haß H4860 heimlich H3680 hält H7451 , Schaden zu tun, des Bosheit H1540 wird H6951 vor der Gemeinde H1540 offenbar werden.
  27 H7845 Wer eine Grube H3738 macht H5307 , der wird hineinfallen H68 ; und wer einen Stein H1556 wälzt H7725 , auf den wird er zurückkommen .
  28 H8267 Eine falsche H3956 Zunge H8130 haßt H1790 den, der sie straft H2509 H6310 ; und ein Heuchelmaul H6213 richtet H4072 Verderben an.
ELB1871(i) 1 Wie Schnee im Sommer und wie Regen in der Ernte, so ist Ehre dem Toren nicht geziemend. 2 Wie der Sperling hin und her flattert, wie die Schwalbe wegfliegt, so ein unverdienter Fluch: er trifft nicht ein. 3 Die Peitsche dem Pferde, der Zaum dem Esel, und der Stock dem Rücken der Toren. 4 Antworte dem Toren nicht nach seiner Narrheit, damit nicht auch du ihm gleich werdest. 5 Antworte dem Toren nach seiner Narrheit, damit er nicht weise sei in seinen Augen. 6 Die Füße haut sich ab, Unbill trinkt, wer Bestellungen ausrichten läßt durch einen Toren. 7 Schlaff hängen die Beine des Lahmen herab: so ein Spruch im Munde der Toren. 8 Wie das Binden eines Steines in eine Schleuder: so, wer einem Toren Ehre erweist. 9 Ein Dorn, der in die Hand eines Trunkenen gerät: so ein Spruch im Munde der Toren. 10 Ein Schütze, der alles verwundet: so, wer den Toren dingt und die Vorübergehenden dingt. 11 Wie ein Hund, der zurückkehrt zu seinem Gespei: so ist ein Tor, der seine Narrheit wiederholt. 12 Siehst du einen Mann, der in seinen Augen weise ist, - für einen Toren ist mehr Hoffnung als für ihn. 13 Der Faule spricht: Der Brüller ist auf dem Wege, ein Löwe inmitten der Straßen. 14 Die Tür dreht sich in ihrer Angel: so der Faule auf seinem Bette. 15 Hat der Faule seine Hand in die Schüssel gesteckt, beschwerlich wird es ihm, sie zu seinem Munde zurückzubringen. 16 Der Faule ist weiser in seinen Augen als sieben, die verständig antworten. 17 Der ergreift einen Hund bei den Ohren, wer vorbeigehend sich über einen Streit ereifert, der ihn nichts angeht. 18 Wie ein Wahnsinniger, der Brandgeschosse, Pfeile und Tod schleudert: 19 so ein Mann, der seinen Nächsten betrügt und spricht: Habe ich nicht Scherz getrieben? 20 Wo es an Holz fehlt, erlischt das Feuer; und wo kein Ohrenbläser ist, hört der Zank auf. 21 Kohle zur Glut und Holz zum Feuer, und ein zänkischer Mann zum Schüren des Streites. 22 Die Worte des Ohrenbläsers sind wie Leckerbissen, und sie dringen hinab in das Innerste des Leibes. 23 Ein irdenes Geschirr, mit Schlackensilber überzogen: so sind feurige Lippen und ein böses Herz. 24 Der Hasser verstellt sich mit seinen Lippen, aber in seinem Innern hegt er Trug. 25 Wenn er seine Stimme holdselig macht, traue ihm nicht; denn sieben Greuel sind in seinem Herzen. 26 Versteckt sich der Haß in Trug, seine Bosheit wird sich in der Versammlung enthüllen. 27 Wer eine Grube gräbt, fällt hinein; und wer einen Stein wälzt, auf den kehrt er zurück. 28 Eine Lügenzunge haßt diejenigen, welche sie zermalmt; und ein glatter Mund bereitet Sturz.
ELB1905(i) 1 Wie Schnee im Sommer und wie Regen in der Ernte, so ist Ehre dem Toren nicht geziemend. 2 Wie der Sperling hin und her flattert, wie die Schwalbe wegfliegt, so ein unverdienter Fluch: er trifft nicht ein. 3 Die Peitsche dem Pferde, der Zaum dem Esel, und der Stock dem Rücken der Toren. 4 Antworte dem Toren nicht nach seiner Narrheit, damit nicht auch du ihm gleich werdest. 5 Antworte dem Toren nach seiner Narrheit, damit er nicht weise sei in seinen Augen. 6 Die Füße haut sich ab, Unbill trinkt, wer Bestellungen ausrichten läßt durch einen Toren. 7 Schlaff hängen die Beine des Lahmen Eig. an dem Lahmen herab: so ein Spruch im Munde der Toren. 8 Wie das Binden eines Steines in eine Schleuder: so, wer einem Toren Ehre erweist. 9 Ein Dorn, der in die Hand eines Trunkenen gerät: so ein Spruch im Munde der Toren. 10 Ein Schütze, der alles verwundet: so, wer den Toren dingt und die Vorübergehenden dingt. O. mit geringer Textänderung: Viel bringt alles hervor, aber des Toren Lohn und wer ihn dingt, vergehen. Der hebr. Text ist schwer verständlich 11 Wie ein Hund, der zurückkehrt zu seinem Gespei: so ist ein Tor, der seine Narrheit wiederholt. 12 Siehst du einen Mann, der in seinen Augen weise ist, für einen Toren ist mehr Hoffnung als für ihn. 13 Der Faule spricht: Der Brüller ist auf dem Wege, ein Löwe inmitten der Straßen. 14 Die Tür dreht sich in ihrer Angel: so der Faule auf seinem Bette. 15 Hat der Faule seine Hand in die Schüssel gesteckt, beschwerlich wird es ihm, sie zu seinem Munde zurückzubringen. 16 Der Faule ist weiser in seinen Augen als sieben, die verständig antworten. 17 Der ergreift einen Hund bei den Ohren, wer vorbeigehend sich über einen Streit ereifert, Mit anderer Interpunktion: Der ergreift einen vorüberlaufenden Hund bei den Ohren, wer sich über einen Streit ereifert der ihn nichts angeht. 18 Wie ein Wahnsinniger, der Brandgeschosse, Pfeile und Tod schleudert: 19 so ein Mann, der seinen Nächsten betrügt und spricht: Habe ich nicht Scherz getrieben? 20 Wo es an Holz fehlt, erlischt das Feuer; und wo kein Ohrenbläser ist, hört der Zank auf. 21 Kohle zur Glut und Holz zum Feuer, und ein zänkischer Mann zum Schüren des Streites. 22 Die Worte des Ohrenbläsers sind wie Leckerbissen, und sie dringen hinab in das Innerste des Leibes. 23 Ein irdenes Geschirr, mit Schlackensilber dh. mit Glasur überzogen: so sind feurige Lippen und ein böses Herz. 24 Der Hasser verstellt sich mit seinen Lippen, aber in seinem Innern hegt er Trug. 25 Wenn er seine Stimme holdselig macht, traue ihm nicht; denn sieben Greuel sind in seinem Herzen. 26 Versteckt sich der Haß in Trug, seine Bosheit wird sich in der Versammlung enthüllen. 27 Wer eine Grube gräbt, fällt hinein; und wer einen Stein wälzt, auf den kehrt er zurück. 28 Eine Lügenzunge haßt diejenigen, welche sie zermalmt; und ein glatter Mund bereitet Sturz.

DSV(i) 1 Gelijk de sneeuw in den zomer, en gelijk de regen in den oogst, alzo past den zot de eer niet. 2 Gelijk de mus is tot wegzweven, gelijk een zwaluw tot vervliegen, alzo zal een vloek, die zonder oorzaak is, niet komen. 3 Een zweep is voor het paard, een toom voor den ezel, en een roede voor den rug der zotten. 4 Antwoord den zot naar zijn dwaasheid niet, opdat gij ook hem niet gelijk wordt. 5 Antwoord den zot naar zijn dwaasheid, opdat hij in zijn ogen niet wijs zij. 6 Hij snijdt zich de voeten af, en drinkt geweld, die boodschappen zendt door de hand van een zot. 7 Hef de benen van den kreupele op; alzo is een spreuk in den mond der zotten. 8 Gelijk hij, die een edel gesteente in een slinger bindt, alzo is hij, die den zot eer geeft. 9 Gelijk een doorn gaat in de hand eens dronkaards, alzo is een spreuk in den mond der zotten. 10 De groten doen een iegelijk verdriet aan, en huren de zotten, en huren de overtreders. 11 Gelijk een hond tot zijn uitspuwsel wederkeert, alzo herneemt de zot zijn dwaasheid. 12 Hebt gij een man gezien, die wijs in zijn ogen is! Van een zot is meer verwachting dan van hem. 13 De luiaard zegt: Er is een felle leeuw op den weg, een leeuw is op de straten. 14 Een deur keert om op haar herre, alzo de luiaard op zijn bed. 15 De luiaard verbergt zijn hand in den boezem, hij is te moede, om die weder tot zijn mond te brengen. 16 De luiaard is wijzer in zijn ogen, dan zeven, die met rede antwoorden. 17 De voorbijgaande, die zich vertoornt in een twist, die hem niet aangaat, is gelijk die een hond bij de oren grijpt. 18 Gelijk een, die zich veinst te razen, die vuursprankelen, pijlen en dodelijke dingen werpt; 19 Alzo is een man, die zijn naaste bedriegt, en zegt: Jok ik er niet mede? 20 Als er geen hout is, gaat het vuur uit; en als er geen oorblazer is, wordt het gekijf gestild. 21 De dove kool is om de vurige kool, en het hout om het vuur; alzo is een kijfachtig man, om twist te ontsteken. 22 De woorden des oorblazers zijn als dergenen, die geslagen zijn, en die dalen in het binnenste des buiks. 23 Brandende lippen, en een boos hart, zijn als een potscherf met schuim van zilver overtogen. 24 Die haat draagt, houdt zich vreemd met zijn lippen; maar in zijn binnenste stelt hij bedrog aan. 25 Als hij met zijn stem smeekt, geloof hem niet, want zeven gruwelen zijn in zijn hart. 26 Wiens haat door bedrog bedekt is, diens boosheid zal in de gemeente geopenbaard worden. 27 Die een kuil graaft, zal er in vallen, en die een steen wentelt, op hem zal hij wederkeren. 28 Een valse tong haat degenen, die zij verbrijzelt; en een gladde mond maakt omstoting.

Giguet(i) 1 ¶ Il y a des rosées pendant la moisson, et des pluies pendant l’été; mais il n’est point de gloire pour l’insensé. 2 ¶ Les oiseaux s’envolent et même les autruches: ainsi les vanités s’évanouissent sans arriver à rien. 3 ¶ Comme est le fouet au cheval, l’aiguillon à l’âne, ainsi est la verge à une nature déréglée. 4 ¶ Ne réponds point au fou selon sa folie, de peur que tu ne deviennes semblable à lui. 5 Mais réponds au fou selon sa folie, de peur qu’il ne semble sage à tes dépens. 6 ¶ Celui qui envoie ses paroles par un messager imprudent expose ses propres voies à un affront. 7 Interdis aux insensés l’usage de leurs jambes, et empêche l’iniquité de sortir de leur bouche. 8 Celui qui attache la pierre à sa fronde ressemble à celui qui glorifie un insensé. 9 Des épines poussent dans la main d’un homme ivre, et la servitude dans la main des insensés. 10 ¶ La chair des insensés est pleine de trouble; car leurs passions se brisent dans leur choc. 11 ¶ Il est une honte qui conduit au mal; il est une honte pleine de gloire et de grâce. 12 ¶ J’ai vu un homme qui, lui-même, s’estimait sage; cependant l’insensé a plus de confiance que lui. 13 ¶ Le paresseux que l’on envoie en voyage dit: Il y a un lion sur le chemin et des assassins dans les rues. 14 ¶ Comme la porte tourne sur ses gonds, ainsi fait le paresseux sur son lit. 15 ¶ Le paresseux, s’il a caché sa main sous son manteau, n’aura pas le courage de la porter à sa bouche. 16 ¶ Le paresseux se croit plus sage que celui qui rapporte une dépêche et en reçoit un salaire abondant. 17 ¶ Se mettre en avant pour la querelle d’autrui, c’est comme prendre un chien par la queue. 18 ¶ On lance parmi les hommes des paroles comme des traits; celui qu’elles atteignent le premier succombe. 19 C’est ce qui arrive à tous ceux qui dressent des embûches à leurs amis; et si l’on s’en aperçoit, ils disent: Je l’ai fait en jouant. 20 ¶ Le feu s’active, s’il y a beaucoup de bois; où il n’y a point de contradicteur, les querelles s’apaisent. 21 Le charbon et le bois dans le foyer animent le feu; le médisant entretient le trouble des querelles. 22 Les paroles du trompeur sont douces; mais elles blessent jusqu’au fond des entrailles. 23 ¶ L’argent donné pour tromper ne vaut pas mieux qu’un coquillage. Des lèvres frivoles cachent un mauvais cœur. 24 ¶ Un ennemi que l’on voit pleurer promet beaucoup des lèvres; mais en son cœur il trame quelque fraude. 25 Si ton ennemi te prie à grands cris, ne te laisse pas persuader; car il a sept méchancetés dans l’âme. 26 Celui qui dissimule sa haine cherche à tromper; mais il a beau cacher ses fautes, le monde le connaît bien. 27 ¶ Celui qui creuse une fosse pour son prochain y tombera; celui qui roule une pierre la roule sur lui-même. 28 ¶ Une langue trompeuse hait la vérité; une bouche indiscrète est une cause de ruines.
DarbyFR(i) 1
Comme la neige en été, et comme la pluie dans la moisson, ainsi la gloire ne sied pas à un sot. 2
Comme le moineau qui va çà et là, et l'hirondelle qui vole, ainsi la malédiction sans cause n'arrivera point. 3
Le fouet est pour le cheval, la bride pour l'âne, et la verge pour le dos des sots. 4
Ne réponds pas au sot selon sa folie, de peur que toi aussi tu ne lui ressembles. 5 au sot selon sa folie, de peur qu'il ne soit sage à ses propres yeux. 6
Celui qui envoie des messages par la main d'un sot, se coupe les pieds et boit l'injustice. 7 Les jambes du boiteux sont sans force: tel est un proverbe dans la bouche des sots. 8 Celui qui donne de la gloire à un sot, c'est comme un sachet de pierres précieuses dans un tas de pierres. 9 Une épine qui entre dans la main d'un homme ivre, tel est un proverbe dans la bouche des sots. 10
Le puissant use de violence envers tout le monde: il prend à gages le sot et il prend à gages les passants. 11
Comme le chien retourne à son vomissement, le sot répète sa folie. 12
As-tu vu un homme sage à ses propres yeux? Il y a plus d'espoir pour un sot que pour lui. 13
Le paresseux dit: Il y a un lion rugissant sur le chemin, un lion dans les rues. 14
La porte tourne sur ses gonds, et le paresseux sur son lit. 15
Le paresseux enfonce sa main dans le plat, il est las de la ramener à sa bouche. 16
Le paresseux est plus sage à ses yeux que sept hommes qui répondent avec bon sens. 17
Il saisit un chien par les oreilles, celui qui, en passant, s'emporte pour une dispute qui n'est pas la sienne. 18
Comme un fou qui jette des brandons, des flèches, et la mort, 19 ainsi est l'homme qui trompe son prochain, et qui dit: N'était-ce pas pour plaisanter? 20
Faute de bois, le feu s'éteint; et, quand il n'y a plus de rapporteurs, la querelle s'apaise. 21 Du charbon sur le brasier et du bois sur le feu, ainsi est l'homme querelleur pour échauffer les disputes. 22 Les paroles du rapporteur sont comme des friandises, et elles descendent jusqu'au dedans des entrailles. 23
Les lèvres brûlantes et le coeur mauvais sont comme de la litharge d'argent appliquée sur un vase de terre. 24
Celui qui hait se déguise par ses lèvres; mais au dedans de lui il nourrit la fraude. 25 Quand il rend sa voix gracieuse, ne le crois point, car il y a sept abominations dans son coeur. 26 La haine se cache-t-elle sous la dissimulation, sa méchanceté sera découverte dans la congrégation. 27
Qui creuse une fosse y tombera, et la pierre retournera sur celui qui la roule. 28
La langue fausse hait ceux qu'elle a écrasés, et la bouche flatteuse amène la ruine.
Martin(i) 1 Comme la neige ne convient pas en été, ni la pluie en la moisson, ainsi la gloire ne convient point à un fou. 2 Comme l'oiseau est prompt à aller çà et là, et l'hirondelle à voler, ainsi la malédiction donnée sans sujet n'arrivera point. 3 Le fouet est pour le cheval, le licou pour l'âne, et la verge pour le dos des fous. 4 Ne réponds point au fou selon sa folie, de peur que tu ne lui sois semblable. 5 Réponds au fou selon sa folie, de peur qu'il ne s'estime être sage. 6 Celui qui envoie des messages par un fou, se coupe les pieds; et boit la peine du tort qu'il s'est fait. 7 Faites marcher un homme qui ne va qu'en clochant; il en sera tout de même d'un propos sentencieux dans la bouche des fous. 8 Il en est de celui qui donne de la gloire à un fou, comme s'il jetait une pierre précieuse dans un monceau de pierres. 9 Ce qu'est une épine qui entre dans la main d'un homme ivre, cela même est un propos sentencieux dans la bouche des fous. 10 Les Grands donnent de l'ennui à tous, et prennent à gage les fous et les transgresseurs. 11 Comme le chien retourne à ce qu'il a vomi, ainsi le fou réitère sa folie. 12 As-tu vu un homme qui croit être sage ? il y a plus d'espérance d'un fou que de lui. 13 Le paresseux dit : le grand lion est dans le chemin, le lion est par les champs. 14 Comme une porte tourne sur ses gonds, ainsi se tourne le paresseux sur son lit. 15 Le paresseux cache sa main au sein, il a de la peine de la ramener à sa bouche. 16 Le paresseux se croit plus sage que sept autres qui donnent de sages conseils. 17 Celui qui en passant se met en colère pour une dispute qui ne le touche en rien, est comme celui qui prend un chien par les oreilles. 18 Tel qu'est celui qui fait de l'insensé, et qui cependant jette des feux, des flèches, et des choses propres à tuer; 19 Tel est l'homme qui a trompé son ami, et qui après cela dit : Ne me jouais-je pas ? 20 Le feu s'éteint faute de bois; ainsi quand il n'y aura plus de semeurs de rapports, les querelles s'apaiseront. 21 Le charbon est pour faire de la braise, et le bois pour faire du feu, et l'homme querelleux pour exciter des querelles. 22 Les paroles d'un semeur de rapports sont comme de ceux qui ne font pas semblant d'y toucher, mais elles descendent jusqu'au-dedans du coeur. 23 Les lèvres ardentes, et le coeur mauvais, sont comme de la litharge enduite sur un pot de terre. 24 Celui qui hait se contrefait en ses lèvres, mais il cache la fraude au-dedans de soi. 25 Quand il parlera gracieusement, ne le crois point; car il y a sept abominations dans son coeur. 26 La malice de celui qui la cache comme dans un lieu secret, sera révélée dans l'assemblée. 27 Celui qui creuse la fosse, y tombera; et la pierre retournera sur celui qui la roule. 28 La fausse langue hait celui qu'elle a abattu; et la bouche qui flatte fait tomber.
Segond(i) 1 Comme la neige en été, et la pluie pendant la moisson, Ainsi la gloire ne convient pas à un insensé. 2 Comme l'oiseau s'échappe, comme l'hirondelle s'envole, Ainsi la malédiction sans cause n'a point d'effet. 3 Le fouet est pour le cheval, le mors pour l'âne, Et la verge pour le dos des insensés. 4 Ne réponds pas à l'insensé selon sa folie, De peur que tu ne lui ressembles toi-même. 5 Réponds à l'insensé selon sa folie, Afin qu'il ne se regarde pas comme sage. 6 Il se coupe les pieds, il boit l'injustice, Celui qui donne des messages à un insensé. 7 Comme les jambes du boiteux sont faibles, Ainsi est une sentence dans la bouche des insensés. 8 C'est attacher une pierre à la fronde, Que d'accorder des honneurs à un insensé. 9 Comme une épine qui se dresse dans la main d'un homme ivre, Ainsi est une sentence dans la bouche des insensés. 10 Comme un archer qui blesse tout le monde, Ainsi est celui qui prend à gage les insensés et les premiers venus. 11 Comme un chien qui retourne à ce qu'il a vomi, Ainsi est un insensé qui revient à sa folie. 12 Si tu vois un homme qui se croit sage, Il y a plus à espérer d'un insensé que de lui. 13 Le paresseux dit: Il y a un lion sur le chemin, Il y a un lion dans les rues! 14 La porte tourne sur ses gonds, Et le paresseux sur son lit. 15 Le paresseux plonge sa main dans le plat, Et il trouve pénible de la ramener à sa bouche. 16 Le paresseux se croit plus sage Que sept hommes qui répondent avec bon sens. 17 Comme celui qui saisit un chien par les oreilles, Ainsi est un passant qui s'irrite pour une querelle où il n'a que faire. 18 Comme un furieux qui lance des flammes, Des flèches et la mort, 19 Ainsi est un homme qui trompe son prochain, Et qui dit: N'était-ce pas pour plaisanter? 20 Faute de bois, le feu s'éteint; Et quand il n'y a point de rapporteur, la querelle s'apaise. 21 Le charbon produit un brasier, et le bois du feu; Ainsi un homme querelleur échauffe une dispute. 22 Les paroles du rapporteur sont comme des friandises, Elles descendent jusqu'au fond des entrailles. 23 Comme des scories d'argent appliquées sur un vase de terre, Ainsi sont des lèvres brûlantes et un coeur mauvais. 24 Par ses lèvres celui qui hait se déguise, Et il met au dedans de lui la tromperie. 25 Lorsqu'il prend une voix douce, ne le crois pas, Car il y a sept abominations dans son coeur. 26 S'il cache sa haine sous la dissimulation, Sa méchanceté se révélera dans l'assemblée. 27 Celui qui creuse une fosse y tombe, Et la pierre revient sur celui qui la roule. 28 La langue fausse hait ceux qu'elle écrase, Et la bouche flatteuse prépare la ruine.

  8 H6872 C’est attacher H8675   H6887   H8800   H68 une pierre H4773 à la fronde H5414 , Que d’accorder H8802   H3519 des honneurs H3684 à un insensé.

  11 H3611 ¶ Comme un chien H7725 qui retourne H8804   H6892 à ce qu’il a vomi H3684 , Ainsi est un insensé H8138 qui revient H8802   H200 à sa folie.
  12 H7200 ¶ Si tu vois H8804   H376 un homme H5869 qui se croit H2450 sage H8615 , Il y a plus à espérer H3684 d’un insensé que de lui.

  19 H376 Ainsi est un homme H7411 qui trompe H8765   H7453 son prochain H559 , Et qui dit H8804   H7832  : N’était-ce pas pour plaisanter H8764   ?

SE(i) 1 Como la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, así conviene al loco la honra. 2 Como el gorrión en su vagar, y como la golondrina en su vuelo, así la maldición sin causa nunca vendrá. 3 El látigo para el caballo, y el cabestro para el asno, y la vara para el cuerpo del loco. 4 Nunca respondas al loco en conformidad a su locura, para que no seas tú también como él. 5 Responde al loco mostrándole su locura, para que no se estime sabio en su opinión. 6 El que da un cargo al que no tiene facultad para ejercitarlo, es el que envía algo por mano del loco; y beberá el daño. 7 Así como camina el cojo; es el proverbio en la boca del loco. 8 Como quien liga la piedra en la honda, así es el que da honra al loco. 9 Espinas hincadas en mano del embriagado, tal es el proverbio en la boca de los locos. 10 El gran Dios cría todas las cosas; y al loco da la paga, y a los transgresores da el salario. 11 Como perro que vuelve a su vómito, así el loco que repite su locura. 12 ¿Has visto hombre sabio en su propia opinión? Más esperanza hay del loco que de él. 13 Dice el perezoso: El león está en el camino; el león está en las calles . 14 Las puertas se revuelven en sus quicios; así el perezoso en su cama. 15 Esconde el perezoso su mano en el seno; se cansa de volverla a su boca. 16 Más sabio es el perezoso en su propia opinión que siete que le den consejo. 17 El que pasando se deja llevar de la ira en pleito ajeno, es como el que toma al perro por las orejas. 18 Como el que enloquece, y echa llamas, y saetas, y muerte, 19 tal es el hombre que daña a su amigo, y dice: Ciertamente lo hice por broma. 20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego; y donde no hay chismoso, cesa la contienda. 21 El carbón para brasas, y la leña para el fuego; y el hombre rencilloso para encender contienda. 22 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas; mas ellas entran hasta lo secreto del vientre. 23 Como escoria de plata echada sobre el tiesto, son los labios enardecidos y el corazón malo. 24 El que odia disimula con sus labios; mas en su interior maquina engaño. 25 Cuando hablare amigablemente, no le creas; porque siete abominaciones hay en su corazón. 26 Aunque su odio se encubre en el desierto; su malicia será descubierta en la congregación. 27 El que cavare sima, caerá en ella; y el que revuelva la piedra, a él volverá. 28 La falsa lengua aborrece al que atormenta; y la boca lisonjera hace resbaladero.
ReinaValera(i) 1 COMO la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, Así conviene al necio la honra. 2 Como el gorrión en su vagar, y como la golondrina en su vuelo, Así la maldición sin causa nunca vendrá. 3 El látigo para el caballo, y el cabestro para el asno, Y la vara para la espalda del necio. 4 Nunca respondas al necio en conformidad á su necedad, Para que no seas tú también como él. 5 Responde al necio según su necedad, Porque no se estime sabio en su opinión. 6 Como el que se corta los pies y bebe su daño, Así es el que envía algo por mano de un necio. 7 Alzar las piernas del cojo. Así es el proverbio en la boca del necio. 8 Como quien liga la piedra en la honda, Así hace el que al necio da honra. 9 Espinas hincadas en mano del embriagado, Tal es el proverbio en la boca de los necios. 10 El grande cría todas las cosas; y da la paga al insensato, Y la da á los transgresores. 11 Como perro que vuelve á su vómito, Así el necio que repite su necedad. 12 ¿Has visto hombre sabio en su opinión? Más esperanza hay del necio que de él. 13 Dice el perezoso: El león está en el camino; El león está en las calles. 14 Las puertas se revuelven en sus quicios: Así el perezoso en su cama. 15 Esconde el perezoso su mano en el seno; Cánsase de tornarla á su boca. 16 A su ver es el perezoso más sabio Que siete que le den consejo. 17 El que pasando se deja llevar de la ira en pleito ajeno, Es como el que toma al perro por las orejas. 18 Como el que enloquece, y echa llamas Y saetas y muerte, 19 Tal es el hombre que daña á su amigo, Y dice: Ciertamente me chanceaba. 20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego: Y donde no hay chismoso, cesa la contienda. 21 El carbón para brasas, y la leña para el fuego: Y el hombre rencilloso para encender contienda. 22 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas; Mas ellas entran hasta lo secreto del vientre. 23 Como escoria de plata echada sobre el tiesto, Son los labios enardecidos y el corazón malo. 24 Otro parece en los labios al que aborrece; Mas en su interior pone engaño. 25 Cuando hablare amigablemente, no le creas; Porque siete abominaciones hay en su corazón. 26 Encúbrese el odio con disimulo; Mas su malicia será descubierta en la congregación. 27 El que cavare sima, caerá en ella: Y el que revuelva la piedra, á él volverá. 28 La falsa lengua atormenta al que aborrece: Y la boca lisonjera hace resbaladero.

Albanian(i) 1 Ashtu si bora nuk i shkon verës as shiu të korrave, kështu nuk i shkon lavdia budallait. 2 Ashtu si harabeli fluturon andej e këtej dhe dallëndyshja fluturon, kështu mallkimi pa arsye nuk ka efekt. 3 Kamxhiku për kalin, kapistra për gomarin dhe shkopi për kurrizin e budallenjve. 4 Mos iu përgjegj budallait simbas budallallëkut të tij, që të mos bëhesh edhe ti si ai. 5 Përgjigjju budallait simbas budallallëkut të tij, që ai të mos mendojë se është i urtë. 6 Kush dërgon një mesazh me anë të një budallai pret këmbët e tij dhe pi dhunë. 7 Ashtu si këmbët e çalamanit janë pak të qëndrueshme, kështu është një fjalë e urtë në gojën e budallenjve. 8 Kush i jep lavdi një budallai është si ai që lidh një gur te hobeja. 9 Një fjalë e urtë në gojën e budallenjve është si një gjemb që hyn në dorën e një të dehuri. 10 Perëndia i madh që ka krijuar të gjitha gjërat është ai që i jep shpërblimin budallait dhe shkelësve. 11 Ashtu si një qen kthehet në të vjellat e tij, kështu budallai e përsërit budallallëkun e tij. 12 A ke parë një njeri që e pandeh veten të urtë? Ka më tepër shpresë për një budalla se sa për të. 13 Përtaci thotë: "Ka një luan në rrugë, ka një luan nëpër rrugë!". 14 Ashtu si lëviz porta në menteshat e saj, kështu sillet përtaci në shtrat të tij. 15 Përtaci e fut dorën në pjatën e tij, por lodhet edhe ta çojë te goja. 16 Përtaci pandeh se është më i urtë se shtatë persona që japin përgjigje me mend. 17 Kalimtari që përzihet në një grindje që nuk i përket, është si ai që kap nga veshët një qen. 18 Ashtu si një i marrë që gjuan me ura zjarri, me shigjeta dhe me vdekje, 19 kështu është ai që mashtron të afërmin dhe thotë: "E bëra për shaka!". 20 Kur mungojnë drutë, zjarri shuhet; dhe kur nuk ka një gojë të keqe, grindja merr fund. 21 Ashtu si qymyri jep shpuzën dhe drutë zjarrin, kështu njeriu grindavec i nxit grindjet. 22 Fjalët e gojëkeqit janë si ushqime shumë të shijshme dhe depërtojnë deri në thellësi të zorrëve. 23 Buzët e zjarrta dhe zemra e keqe janë si zgjyra të argjendit të vendosura mbi një enë balte. 24 Ai që urren shtiret me buzët e tij, por në zemër të vet përgatit mashtrimin. 25 Kur ai flet në mënyrë të sjellshme mos i ki besim, sepse ka shtatë gjëra të neveritshme në zemër. 26 Edhe sikur urrejtja e tij të jetë fshehur me tinëzi; ligësia e tij do të dalë hapur në kuvend. 27 Kush hap një gropë do të bjerë brenda dhe kush rrokullis një gur do të bjerë përsëri mbi të. 28 Gjuha gënjeshtare urren ata që ka plagosur, dhe goja lajkatare sjell shkatërrimin.
RST(i) 1 Как снег летом и дождь во время жатвы, так честь неприлична глупому. 2 Как воробей вспорхнет, как ласточка улетит, так незаслуженное проклятие не сбудется. 3 Бич для коня, узда для осла, а палка для глупых. 4 Не отвечай глупому по глупости его, чтобы и тебе не сделаться подобным ему; 5 но отвечай глупому по глупости его, чтобы он не стал мудрецом в глазах своих. 6 Подрезывает себе ноги, терпит неприятность тот, кто дает словесное поручение глупцу. 7 Неровно поднимаются ноги у хромого, - и притча вустах глупцов. 8 Что влагающий драгоценный камень в пращу, то воздающий глупому честь. 9 Что колючий терн в руке пьяного, то притча в устах глупцов. 10 Сильный делает все произвольно: и глупого награждает, и всякогопрохожего награждает. 11 Как пес возвращается на блевотину свою, так глупый повторяет глупость свою. 12 Видал ли ты человека, мудрого в глазах его? На глупого больше надежды, нежели нанего. 13 Ленивец говорит: „лев на дороге! лев на площадях!" 14 Дверь ворочается на крючьях своих, а ленивец на постели своей. 15 Ленивец опускает руку свою в чашу, и ему тяжело донести ее до рта своего. 16 Ленивец в глазах своих мудрее семерых, отвечающих обдуманно. 17 Хватает пса за уши, кто, проходя мимо, вмешивается в чужую ссору. 18 Как притворяющийся помешанным бросает огонь, стрелы и смерть, 19 так – человек, который коварно вредит другу своему и потом говорит: „я только пошутил". 20 Где нет больше дров, огонь погасает, и где нет наушника, раздор утихает. 21 Уголь – для жара и дрова – для огня, а человек сварливый – дляразжжения ссоры. 22 Слова наушника – как лакомства, и они входят во внутренность чрева. 23 Что нечистым серебром обложенный глиняный сосуд, то пламенные уста и сердце злобное. 24 Устами своими притворяется враг, а в сердце своем замышляетковарство. 25 Если он говорит и нежным голосом, не верь ему, потому что семь мерзостей в сердце его. 26 Если ненависть прикрывается наедине, то откроется злоба его в народном собрании. 27 Кто роет яму, тот упадет в нее, и кто покатит вверх камень, к томуон воротится. 28 Лживый язык ненавидит уязвляемых им, и льстивые уста готовят падение.
Arabic(i) 1 كالثلج في الصيف وكالمطر في الحصاد هكذا الكرامة غير لائقة بالجاهل. 2 كالعصفور للفرار وكالسنونة للطيران كذلك لعنة بلا سبب لا تأتي. 3 السوط للفرس واللجام للحمار والعصا لظهر الجهال. 4 لا تجاوب الجاهل حسب حماقته لئلا تعدله انت. 5 جاوب الجاهل حسب حماقته لئلا يكون حكيما في عيني نفسه. 6 يقطع الرجلين يشرب ظلما من يرسل كلاما عن يد جاهل. 7 ساقا الاعرج متدلدلتان وكذا المثل في فم الجهال. 8 كصرّة حجارة كريمة في رجمة هكذا المعطي كرامة للجاهل. 9 شوك مرتفع بيد سكران مثل المثل في فم الجهال. 10 رام يطعن الكل هكذا من يستأجر الجاهل او يستأجر المحتالين. 11 كما يعود الكلب الى قيئه هكذا الجاهل يعيد حماقته. 12 أرأيت رجلا حكيما في عيني نفسه. الرجاء بالجاهل اكثر من الرجاء به 13 قال الكسلان الاسد في الطريق الشبل في الشوارع. 14 الباب يدور على صائره والكسلان على فراشه. 15 الكسلان يخفي يده في الصحفة ويشق عليه ان يردها الى فمه. 16 الكسلان اوفر حكمة في عيني نفسه من السبعة المجيبين بعقل. 17 كممسك اذني كلب هكذا من يعبر ويتعرض لمشاجرة لا تعنيه. 18 مثل المجنون الذي يرمي نارا وسهاما وموتا 19 هكذا الرجل الخادع قريبه ويقول ألم العب انا. 20 بعدم الحطب تنطفئ النار وحيث لا نمّام يهدأ الخصام. 21 فحم للجمر وحطب للنار هكذا الرجل المخاصم لتهييج النزاع. 22 كلام النمّام مثل لقم حلوة فينزل الى مخادع البطن 23 فضة زغل تغشّي شقفة هكذا الشفتان المتوقدتان والقلب الشرير. 24 بشفتيه يتنكر المبغض وفي جوفه يضع غشا. 25 اذا حسّن صوته فلا تأتمنه. لان في قلبه سبع رجاسات. 26 من يغطي بغضة بمكر يكشف خبثه بين الجماعة. 27 من يحفر حفرة يسقط فيها ومن يدحرج حجرا يرجع عليه. 28 اللسان الكاذب يبغض منسحقيه والفم الملق يعدّ خرابا
Bulgarian(i) 1 Както сняг през лятото и както дъжд в жетва, така и чест не подхожда на безумния. 2 Както врабче хвръква и както лястовица отлита, така и незаслужено проклятие не се сбъдва. 3 Бич за коня, юзда за магарето и тояга за гърба на безумните. 4 Не отговаряй на безумния според безумието му, за да не станеш и ти като него. 5 Отговаряй на безумния според безумието му, за да не се има за мъдър в очите си. 6 Който праща известие чрез ръката на безумния, си отсича краката и пие насилие. 7 Както краката на недъгавия висят отпуснати, така е и притча в устата на безумните. 8 Както възел със скъпоценни камъни, хвърлен на грамада, така е и този, който отдава чест на безумния. 9 Както трън, който влиза в ръката на пияницата, така е и притча в устата на безумните. 10 Както стрелец, който ранява всеки, така е и който наема безумен или който наема минувачи. 11 Както псето се връща на бълвоча си, така и безумният повтаря своята глупост. 12 Виждаш ли човек, мъдър в очите си? Повече надежда има за безумния, отколкото за него. 13 Ленивият казва: Лъв има на пътя! Лъв има сред площадите! 14 Както вратата се завърта на пантите си, така и ленивият — на леглото си. 15 Ленивият натопява ръката си в чинията и му е тежко да я върне обратно до устата си. 16 Ленивият е по-мъдър в очите си от седмина, които отговарят разумно. 17 Както един, който хваща куче за ушите, така е минувачът, който се бърка в чужда разправия. 18 Както е луд, който хвърля главни, стрели и смърт, 19 така е и човекът, който измамва ближния си и казва: Не се ли пошегувах! 20 Където няма дърва, огънят изгасва и където няма клюкар, раздорът престава. 21 Както въглища за жар и дърва за огън, така е и свадлив човек да разпалва свада. 22 Думите на клюкаря са като сладки залъци и слизат вътре в корема. 23 Както сребърна глеч, намазана на глинен съд, така са горещи устни със зло сърце. 24 Който мрази, се преправя с устните си, но в сърцето си крои измама; 25 когато говори сладко, не му вярвай, защото в сърцето му има седем мерзости. 26 Който покрива омразата с измама, злината му ще се открие пред събранието. 27 Който копае ров, ще падне в него и камъкът ще се върне върху онзи, който го търкаля. 28 Лъжлив език мрази съкрушените от него, и ласкателна уста води до съсипване.
Croatian(i) 1 Kao snijeg ljeti ili kiša o žetvi, tako pristaju počasti bezumnomu. 2 Kao vrabac kad prhne i lastavica kad odleti, tako se i bezrazložna kletva ne ispunja. 3 Bič konju, uzda magarcu, a šiba leđima bezumnika. 4 Ne odgovaraj bezumniku po njegovoj ludosti, da mu i sam ne postaneš jednak. 5 Odgovori bezumniku po ludosti njegovoj, da se ne bi učinio sam sebi mudar. 6 Odsijeca noge sebi i gorčinu pije tko po bezumnom poruke šalje. 7 Klecava bedra u hromoga - mudra je izreka u ustima bezumničkim. 8 Kamen za praćku vezuje tko bezumnom iskazuje čast. 9 Trnovita grana u ruci pijanice: mudra izreka u ustima bezumnika. 10 Strijelac koji ranjava sve prolaznike: takav je onaj tko unajmljuje bezumnika. 11 Bezumnik se vraća svojoj ludosti kao što se pas vraća na svoju bljuvotinu. 12 Vidiš li čovjeka koji se sam sebi mudrim čini? Znaj, i od bezumnika ima više nade nego od njega! 13 Lijenčina veli: "Zvijer je na putu, i lav je na ulicama." 14 Kao što se vrata okreću na stožerima svojim, tako i lijenčina na postelji svojoj. 15 Lijenčina umače ruku u zdjelu, ali je ne može prinijeti ustima. 16 Lijenčina se čini sebi mudrijim od sedmorice koji umno odgovaraju. 17 Psa za uši hvata tko se, u prolazu, umiješa u raspru koja ga se ne tiče. 18 Kao bjesomučnik koji baca zublje, strelice i sije smrt, 19 takav je čovjek koji vara bližnjega svoga i veli: "Samo se našalih." 20 Kad nestane drva, oganj se gasi, i kad više nema klevetnika, prestaje svađa. 21 Ugljen je za žeravnicu i drvo za oganj, a svadljivac da raspaljuje svađu. 22 Klevetnikove su riječi kao slastice: spuštaju se u dno utrobe. 23 Srebrna gleđa preko zemljana suđa: laskave usne i opako srce. 24 Mrzitelj hini usnama svojim, a u sebi nosi prijevaru; 25 ne vjeruj mu kad ljupkim glasom govori, jer u srcu mu je sedam grdila; 26 ako himbom skriva mržnju, njegova će se opačina otkriti na zboru. 27 Tko jamu kopa, sam u nju pada, i tko kamen valja, na njega se prevaljuje. 28 Lažljiv jezik mrzi svoje žrtve, laskava usta propast spremaju.
BKR(i) 1 Jako sníh v létě, a jako déšť ve žni, tak nepřipadá na blázna čest. 2 Jako vrabec přenáší se, a vlaštovice létá, tak zlořečení bez příčiny nedojde. 3 Bič na koně, uzda na osla, a kyj na hřbet blázna. 4 Neodpovídej bláznu podlé bláznovství jeho, abys i ty jemu nebyl podobný. 5 Odpověz bláznu podlé bláznovství jeho, aby sám u sebe nebyl moudrý. 6 Jako by nohy osekal, bezpráví se dopouští ten, kdož svěřuje poselství bláznu. 7 Jakož nejednostejní jsou hnátové kulhavého, tak řeč v ústech bláznů. 8 Jako vložiti kámen do praku, tak jest, když kdo ctí blázna. 9 Trn, kterýž se dostává do rukou opilého, jest přísloví v ústech bláznů. 10 Veliký pán stvořil všecko, a dává odplatu bláznu, i odměnu přestupníkům. 11 Jakož pes navracuje se k vývratku svému, tak blázen opětuje bláznovství své. 12 Spatřil-li bys člověka, an jest moudrý sám u sebe, naděje o bláznu lepší jest než o takovém. 13 Říká lenoch: Lev lítý jest na cestě, lev jest v ulici. 14 Dvéře se obracejí na stežejích svých, a lenoch na lůži svém. 15 Schovává lenivý ruku svou za ňadra; těžko mu vztáhnouti ji k ústům svým. 16 Moudřejší jest lenivý u sebe sám, nežli sedm odpovídajících s soudem. 17 Psa za uši lapá, kdož odcházeje, hněvá se ne v své při. 18 Jako nesmyslný vypouští jiskry a šípy smrtelné, 19 Tak jest každý, kdož oklamává bližního, a říká: Zdaž jsem nežertoval? 20 Když není drev, hasne oheň; tak když nebude klevetníka, utichne svár. 21 Uhel mrtvý k roznícení, a drva k ohni, tak člověk svárlivý k roznícení svady. 22 Slova utrhače jako ubitých, ale však sstupují do vnitřností života. 23 Stříbrná trůska roztažená po střepě jsou rtové protivní a srdce zlé. 24 Rty svými za jiného se staví ten, jenž nenávidí, ale u vnitřnosti své skládá lest. 25 Když se ochotný ukáže řečí svou, nevěř mu; nebo sedmera ohavnost jest v srdci jeho. 26 Přikrývána bývá nenávist chytře, ale zlost její zjevena bývá v shromáždění. 27 Kdo jámu kopá, do ní upadá, a kdo valí kámen, na něj se obrací. 28 Člověk jazyka ošemetného v nenávisti má ponížené, a ústy úlisnými způsobuje pád.
Danish(i) 1 Som Sneen om Sommeren og som Regnen om Høsten saa passer Ære ikke for en Daare. 2 Som en Spurv i Fart, som en Svale i Flugt saaledes vil en Forbandelse, som sker uden Aarsag, ikke træffe ind. 3 En Svøbe er for Hesten og en Tømme for Asenet og et Ris for Daarers Ryg. 4 Svar ej en Daare efter hans Taabelighed, at ikke ogsaa du skal blive ham lig. 5 Svar en Daare efter hans Taabelighed, at han ikke skal være viis i sine egne Øjne. 6 Fødderne hugger den af sig, og Fortrædelighed maa den drikke, som sender Bud ved en Daare. 7 Tager Benene fra den halte og Tankesproget bort, som er i Daarers Mund. 8 Som den, der binder Stenen fast i Slynten, saa er den, der giver en Daare Ære. 9 Som en Tjørnekæp, der kommer i den druknes Haand, saa er Tankesproget i Daarers Mund. 10 Som en Pil; der saarer alt, saa er den, der lejer en Daare, og den, der lejer vejfarende. 11 Ligesom en Hund vender sig til sit eget Spy, saa er Daaren, som gentager sin Taabelighed. 12 Har du set en Mand, som er viis i sine egne Øjne, da er der mere Forhaabning om en Daare end om ham. 13 Den lade siger: Der er en grum Løve paa Vejen, en Løve paa Gaderne. 14 Som Døren drejer sig om paa sine Hængsler, saa den lade paa sin Seng. 15 Den lade stikker sin Haand i Fadet; det bliver ham besværligt at lade den komme til sin Mund i en. 16 Den lade er visere i sine egne Øjne end syv, som svare forstandigt. 17 Som den, der griber Hunden fat ved Ørene, saa er den, der gaar forbi og kommer i Vrede over en Trætte, der ikke kommer ham ved. 18 Som en gal, der udkaster Gnister, Pile og Død, 19 saa er den siger: Skæmter jeg ikke? 20 Naar der intet Ved er mere udslukkes Ilden; og naar der inæn Bagvadsker er, stilles Trætte. 21 Kul til Gløder og Ved til Ild: Saa er en trættekær Mand til at optænde Kiv. 22 En Bagvadskers Ord lyde som Skæmt, dog trænge de irld i inderste Bug. 23 Som et Potteskaar, der er overdraget med urent Sølv, saa ere brændende Læber og et ondt Hjerte. 24 Den hadefulde forstiller sig med sine Læber, men inden i sig nærer han Svig. 25 Naar han gør sin Røst yndig, da tro ham ikke; Vederstyggeligheder i hans Hjerte. 26 Den, hvis Had skjult ved Bedrag, hans Ondskab skal blive aabenbaret i Forsamlingen. 27 Hvo som graver en Grav, gaa skal selv falde i den; og hvo som vælter en Sten op, paa ham skal den falde tilbage. 28 En falsk Tunge hader dem, som den har knust, og en glat Mund bereder Fald.

Finnish(i) 1 Niinkuin lumi suvella ja sede elonaikana, niin ei sovi tyhmälle kunnia. 2 Niinkuin lintu menee pois, ja pääskynen lentää, niin ei sovi salvaa kirous ilman syytä. 3 Hevoselle ruoska ja aasille ohjat, ja hullulle vitsa selkään. 4 Älä vastaa tyhmää hänen tyhmyytensä jälkeen, ettes myös sinä hänen kaltaiseksensa tulisi. 5 Vastaa tyhmää hänen tyhmyytensä jälkeen, ettei hän näkyisi viisaaksi silmissänsä. 6 Joka tyhmäin sanansaattajain kautta asian toimittaa, hän on niinkuin rampa jaloista, ja saa vahingon. 7 Niinkuin nilkku voi hypätä, niin tyhmä taitaa puhua viisaudesta. 8 Joka tyhmälle taritsee kunniaa, on niinkuin joku heittäisi kalliin kiven kiviroukkioon. 9 Sananlasku on tyhmäin suussa niinkuin orjantappura, joka juopuneen käsiin pistelee. 10 Taitava ihminen tekee kappaleen oikein; vaan joka taitamattoman palkkaa, hän sen turmelee. 11 Niinkuin koira syö oksennuksensa, niin on hullu joka hulluutensa kertoo. 12 Koskas näet jonkun, joka luulee itsensä viisaaksi, enempi on silloin toivoa tyhmästä kuin hänestä. 13 Laiska sanoo: nuori jalopeura on tiellä, ja jalopeura kujalla. 14 Laiska kääntelee itsiänsä vuoteella niinkuin ovi saranassa. 15 Laiska panee kätensä poveensa: ja se tulee hänelle työlääksi saattaa suuhunsa jälleen. 16 Laiska luulee itsensä viisaammaksi kuin seitsemän, jotka hyviä tapoja opettavat. 17 Joka käy ohitse ja sekoittaa itsensä muiden riitoihin, hän on senkaltainen, joka koiraa korvista vetää. 18 Niinkuin se, joka salaa ampuu, tarkoittaa joutsella ja tappaa, 19 Niin on petollinen ihminen hänen lähimmäisillensä, ja sanoo: leikillä minä sen tein. 20 Kuin halot loppuvat, niin tuli sammuu, ja kuin kielikellot pannaan pois, niin riidat lakkaavat. 21 Niinkuin hiilet tuleen, ja puut liekkiin, niin riitainen ihminen saattaa metelin. 22 Panettelian sanat ovat niinkuin haavat, ja käyvät läpi sydämen. 23 Viekas kieli ja paha sydän on niinkuin saviastia hopian savulla juotettu. 24 Vihamien teeskelee itsensä toisin puheellansa; mutta petos on hänen sydämessänsä. 25 Kuin hän liehakoitsee makeilla puheillansa, niin älä usko häntä; sillä seitsemän kauhistusta on hänen sydämessänsä. 26 Joka pitää salavihaa, tehdäksensä vahinkoa, hänen pahuutensa tulee ilmi kokouksissa. 27 Joka kuopan kaivaa, hän lankee siihen, ja joka kiven vierittää, se kierittää sen itse päällensä. 28 Petollinen kieli vihaa rangaistusta, ja suu, joka myötäkielin puhuu, saattaa kadotukseen.
FinnishPR(i) 1 Yhtä vähän kuin lumi kesällä ja sade elonaikana soveltuu tyhmälle kunnia. 2 Kuin liitävä lintu, kuin lentävä pääskynen on aiheeton kirous: ei se toteen käy. 3 Hevoselle ruoska, aasille suitset, tyhmille vitsa selkään! 4 Älä vastaa tyhmälle hänen hulluutensa mukaan, ettet olisi hänen kaltaisensa sinäkin. 5 Vastaa tyhmälle hänen hulluutensa mukaan, ettei hän itseänsä viisaana pitäisi. 6 Jalat altaan katkaisee ja vääryyttä saa juoda, joka sanan lähettää tyhmän mukana. 7 Velttoina riippuvat halvatun sääret; samoin sananlasku tyhmäin suussa. 8 Yhtä kuin sitoisi kiven linkoon kiinni, on antaa kunniaa tyhmälle. 9 Kuin ohdake, joka on osunut juopuneen käteen, on sananlasku tyhmäin suussa. 10 Kuin jousimies, joka kaikkia haavoittaa, on se, joka tyhmän pestaa, kulkureita pestaa. 11 Kuin koira, joka palajaa oksennuksilleen, on tyhmä, joka yhä uusii hulluuksiansa. 12 Näet miehen, viisaan omissa silmissään-enemmän on toivoa tyhmästä kuin hänestä. 13 Laiska sanoo: "Tuolla tiellä on leijona, jalopeura torien vaiheilla". 14 Ovi saranoillaan kääntyilee, laiska vuoteellansa. 15 Laiska pistää kätensä vatiin; ei viitsi sitä viedä suuhunsa jälleen. 16 Laiska on omissa silmissään viisaampi kuin seitsemän, jotka vastaavat taitavasti. 17 Kulkukoiraa korviin tarttuu se, joka syrjäisten riidasta suuttuu. 18 Kuin mieletön, joka ammuskelee tulisia surmannuolia, 19 on mies, joka pettää lähimmäisensä ja sanoo: "Leikillähän minä sen tein". 20 Halkojen loppuessa sammuu tuli, ja panettelijan poistuessa taukoaa tora. 21 Hehkuksi hiilet, tuleksi halot, riidan lietsomiseksi toraisa mies. 22 Panettelijan puheet ovat kuin herkkupalat ja painuvat sisusten kammioihin asti. 23 Kuin hopeasilaus saviastian pinnalla ovat hehkuvat huulet ja paha sydän. 24 Vihamies teeskentelee huulillaan, mutta hautoo petosta sydämessänsä. 25 Jos hän muuttaa suloiseksi äänensä, älä häntä usko, sillä seitsemän kauhistusta hänellä on sydämessä. 26 Vihamielisyys kätkeytyy kavalasti, mutta seurakunnan kokouksessa sen pahuus paljastuu. 27 Joka kuopan kaivaa, se itse siihen lankeaa; ja joka kiveä vierittää, sen päälle se takaisin vyörähtää. 28 Valheellinen kieli vihaa omia ruhjomiansa, ja liukas suu saa turmiota aikaan.
Haitian(i) 1 Menm jan moun pa bezwen tann pou fè gwo fredi nan sezon chalè, ni pou lapli tonbe nan sezon rekòt, konsa tou, moun san konprann pa bezwen tann pou yo fè lwanj li. 2 Madichon pa ka fè ou anyen si ou pa antò. Se tankou ti zwezo k'ap vòltije sou branch bwa, ziwondèl k'ap vole nan syèl la yo ye. 3 Fwèt pou chwal, baboukèt pou bourik, baton pou do moun ki san konprann. 4 Pa reponn moun sòt yo menm jan yo pale a, pou ou pa parèt sòt menm jan ak yo. 5 Reponn moun sòt yo dapre jan yo pale a, w'a fè yo wè se moun sòt yo ye. 6 Yon moun ki voye yon moun sòt fè komisyon, se tankou si li te koupe janm li. Se traka l'ap chache bay tèt li. 7 Yon moun ki san konprann sèvi ak yon pwovèb menm jan yon moun bwete sèvi ak move janm lan. 8 Fè lwanj yon moun ki san konprann, se tankou si ou te mare wòch la anvan ou tire fistibal la. 9 Yon moun san konprann k'ap bay yon pwovèb, se tankou yon moun sou k'ap chache wete yon pikan nan dwèt li. 10 Patwon ki pran nenpòt moun san konprann osinon nenpòt moun k'ap pase nan lari pou travay pou li, se yon danje pou tout moun. 11 Menm jan yon chen tounen vin manje sa li vonmi, se konsa moun san konprann yo ap toujou fè sa y'ap fè a. 12 Gen plis espwa pou yon moun ki san konprann pase pou yon moun ki mete nan tèt li li konprann. 13 Parese a di: Gen bèt nan bwa sou wout la. Gen yon lyon nan lari a. 14 Parese a ap vire adwat agoch nan kabann li, menm jan yon pòt ap vire louvri fèmen sou gon li yo. 15 Parese a pran kiyè l' nan men l'. Men, pou l' leve l' mete nan bouch li, se yon pakèt afè. 16 Parese mete nan tèt li li gen plis konprann pase sèt moun lespri ki konn sa y'ap di. 17 Moun k'ap foure bouch nan koze ki pa gade l', se tankou moun k'ap rale ke chen li jwenn sou gran chemen. 18 -(we vèsè pwochen) 19 Moun k'ap mache twonpe moun, apre sa pou li di: Aa monchè! Se jwe mwen t'ap jwe, moun konsa tankou moun fou k'ap voye bwa dife ak wòch pou touye moun. 20 Kote ki pa gen bwa, pa gen dife. Kote ki pa gen tripòt, pa gen kont. 21 Chabon kenbe recho a limen. Bwa pa kite dife a mouri. Konsa tou, moun ki renmen chache kont toujou ap pouse dife. 22 Tripotay dous nan zòrèy moun ki vle tande yo. Sa mache nan san yo. 23 Yon moun ki gen bèl pawòl nan bouch li men ki gen move kè, se tankou bèl penti sou bwa pouri. 24 Ipokrit ki rayi moun toujou ap bay bèl pawòl. Men, nan kè l', se twonpe l'ap twonpe moun. 25 Lè l'ap pale konsa, ou pa bezwen kwè l', paske nan fon kè l', se mechanste ase ki genyen. 26 Li te mèt kache sa, tout moun gen pou wè mechanste l'ap fè yo. 27 Moun k'ap tann pèlen pou lòt se yo menm k'ap pran ladan li. Moun ki konmanse woule wòch la, se li menm ankò wòch la ap kraze. 28 Fòk ou rayi yon moun vre pou fè manti sou li. Lè w'ap flate moun, se tèt ou w'ap fè tò.
Hungarian(i) 1 Mint a hó a nyárhoz és az esõ az aratáshoz, úgy nem illik a bolondhoz a tisztesség. 2 Miképen a madár elmegy és a fecske elrepül, azonképen az ok nélkül való átok nem száll az emberre. 3 Ostor a lónak, fék a szamárnak; és vesszõ a bolondok hátának. 4 Ne felelj meg a bolondnak az õ bolondsága szerint, hogy ne légy te is õ hozzá hasonlatos; 5 Felelj meg a bolondnak az õ bolondsága szerint, hogy ne legyen bölcs a maga szemei elõtt. 6 A ki bolond által izen valamit, lábait vagdalja el magának, és bosszúságot szenved. 7 [Mint] a sántának lábai lógnak, úgy a bölcsmondás a bolondoknak szájában. 8 Mint a ki követ köt a parittyába, úgy [cselekszik,] a ki a bolondnak tisztességet tesz. 9 [Mint] a részeg ember kezébe akad a tövis, [úgy akad] az eszes mondás a bolondoknak szájába. 10 Mint a lövöldözõ, a ki mindent megsebez, olyan az, a ki bolondot fogad fel, és a ki csavargókat fogad fel. 11 Mint az eb megtér a maga okádására, úgy a bolond megkettõzteti az õ bolondságát. 12 Láttál-é oly embert, a ki a maga szemei elõtt bölcs? A bolond felõl [jobb] reménységed legyen, hogynem mint a felõl! 13 Azt mondja a rest: ordító [oroszlán] van az úton! oroszlán van az utczákon! 14 [Mint] az ajtó forog az õ sarkán, úgy a rest az õ ágyában. 15 Ha a rest az õ kezét a tálba nyujtotta, resteli azt csak szájához is vinni. 16 Bölcsebb a rest a maga szemei elõtt, mint hét olyan, a ki okos feleletet ád. 17 Kóbor ebet ragad fülön, a ki felháborodik a perpatvaron, a mely õt nem illeti. 18 Mint a balga, a ki tüzet, nyilakat és halálos szerszámokat lövöldöz, 19 Olyan [az], a ki megcsalja az õ felebarátját, és azt mondja: csak tréfáltam! 20 Ha a fa elfogy, kialuszik a tûz; ha nincs súsárló, megszûnik a háborgás. 21 Mint az elevenszénre a holtszén, és a fa a tûzre, [olyan] a háborúságszerzõ ember a patvarkodásnak felgyujtására. 22 A fondorlónak beszédei hízelkedõk, és azok áthatják a szív belsejét. 23 [Mint] a meg nem tisztított ezüst, melylyel valami agyagedényt beborítottak, [olyanok] a gyulasztó ajkak a gonosz szív mellett. 24 Az õ beszédeivel másnak tetteti magát a gyûlölõ, holott az õ szívében gondol álnokságot. 25 Mikor kedvesen szól, ne bízzál õ hozzá; mert hét iszonyatosság van szívében. 26 Elfedeztethetik a gyûlölség csalással; de nyilvánvalóvá lesz az õ gonoszsága a gyülekezetben. 27 A ki vermet ás [másnak], abba belé esik; és a ki felhengeríti a követ, arra gurul vissza. 28 A hazug nyelv gyûlöli az általa megrontott [embert], és a hízelkedõ száj romlást szerez.
Indonesian(i) 1 Seperti hujan di musim kemarau, dan salju di musim panas, begitu juga pujian bagi orang bodoh tidak pantas. 2 Seperti burung terbang dan melayang-layang di udara, begitu juga kutukan tak bisa kena pada orang yang tak bersalah. 3 Keledai harus dikenakan kekang, kuda harus dicambuk, demikian juga orang bodoh harus dipukul. 4 Orang yang menjawab pertanyaan orang dungu, sama bodohnya dengan orang itu. 5 Pertanyaan yang bodoh harus dijawab dengan jawaban yang bodoh pula, supaya si penanya sadar bahwa ia tidak pandai seperti yang disangkanya. 6 Mengutus seorang bodoh untuk mengirim berita, sama dengan mematahkan kaki sendiri dan mencari celaka. 7 Seperti orang lumpuh menggunakan kakinya, begitulah orang bodoh yang mengucapkan petuah. 8 Memuji orang yang tak berpengetahuan, seperti mengikat batu erat-erat pada jepretan. 9 Seperti pemabuk mengeluarkan duri dari tangannya, begitulah orang bodoh yang mengucapkan petuah. 10 Siapa mempekerjakan orang bodoh atau sembarang orang akan merugikan banyak orang. 11 Seperti anjing kembali kepada muntahnya, begitulah orang bodoh yang mengulangi kebodohannya. 12 Orang yang bodoh sekali masih lebih baik daripada orang yang menganggap dirinya pandai. 13 Si pemalas suka tinggal di rumah; ia berkata "Ada singa di luar, aku bisa diterkam di tengah jalan." 14 Seperti pintu berputar pada engselnya, begitulah si pemalas membalik-balikkan badannya di atas tempat tidurnya. 15 Ada orang yang malas bukan kepalang; menyuap makanan ke mulutnya pun ia enggan. 16 Si pemalas menganggap dirinya lebih berhikmat daripada tujuh orang yang memberi jawaban yang tepat. 17 Orang yang ikut campur dalam pertengkaran yang bukan urusannya sama seperti orang yang menangkap anjing liar pada telinganya. 18 Orang yang menipu, lalu berkata, "Aku hanya bergurau saja," sama dengan orang gila yang bermain dengan senjata berbahaya. 19 (26:18) 20 Jika kayu telah habis, padamlah api; jika si bocor mulut sudah tiada, pertengkaran pun berhenti. 21 Seperti arang dan kayu membuat api tetap menyala; begitulah orang yang suka bertengkar membakar suasana. 22 Fitnah itu enak rasanya; orang suka menelannya. 23 Bagaikan periuk tanah disepuh perak, begitulah orang yang manis di mulut, tapi berhati jahat. 24 Si pembenci manis kata-katanya tapi hatinya penuh tipu daya. 25 Meskipun ia ramah, janganlah percaya; karena kebencian menguasai hatinya. 26 Sekalipun ia menyembunyikan kebenciannya, semua orang akan melihat kejahatannya. 27 Siapa menggali lobang untuk orang lain, akan terperosok ke dalamnya. Siapa menggelindingkan batu supaya menimpa orang lain, akan tertimpa sendiri oleh batu itu. 28 Mendustai orang sama saja dengan membencinya. Mulut manis mendatangkan celaka.
Italian(i) 1 Come la neve non si conviene alla state, Nè la pioggia al tempo della ricolta, Così la gloria non si conviene allo stolto. 2 Come il passero vaga, e la rondinella vola, Così la maledizione data senza cagione non avverrà. 3 La sferza al cavallo, ed il capestro all’asino, E il bastone al dosso degli stolti. 4 Non rispondere allo stolto secondo la sua follia; Che talora anche tu non gli sii agguagliato. 5 Rispondi allo stolto, come si conviene alla sua follia; Che talora non gli paia d’esser savio. 6 Chi si taglia i piedi ne beve l’ingiuria; Così avviene a chi manda a far de’ messi per uno stolto. 7 Lo zoppo zoppica delle sue due gambe; Così fa la sentenza nella bocca degli stolti. 8 Chi dà gloria allo stolto Fa come chi gittasse una pietra preziosa in un mucchio di sassi. 9 La sentenza nella bocca degli stolti È come una spina, che sia caduta in mano ad un ebbro. 10 I grandi tormentano ognuno, E prezzolano stolti, e salariano passanti. 11 Come il cane ritorna al suo vomito, Così lo stolto reitera la sua follia. 12 Hai tu veduto un uomo che si reputi savio? Vi è maggiore speranza d’uno stolto che di lui. 13 Il pigro dice: Il leopardo è in su la strada, Il leone è per le campagne. 14 Come l’uscio si volge sopra i suoi arpioni, Così si volge il pigro sopra il suo letto. 15 Il pigro nasconde la mano nel seno; Egli dura fatica a trarla fuori per recarsela alla bocca. 16 Al pigro par di esser savio, Più che sette che dànno risposte di prudenza. 17 Colui che passando trascorre in ira per una questione che non gli tocca, È come chi afferra un cane per gli orecchi. 18 Quale è colui che, infingendosi di scherzare, avventa razzi, Saette, e cose mortifere; 19 Tale è colui che inganna il suo prossimo, E dice: Non ischerzo io? 20 Il fuoco si spegne, quando mancano legne; Così le contese si acquetano, quando non vi son rapportatori. 21 Il carbone è per far brace, e le legne per far fuoco; E l’uomo rissoso per accender contese. 22 Le parole del rapportatore paiono lusinghevoli; Ma scendono fin dentro al ventre. 23 Le labbra ardenti, e il cuor malvagio, Son come schiuma d’argento impiastrata sopra un testo. 24 Chi odia s’infinge nel suo parlare, Ma cova la frode nel suo interiore; 25 Quando egli parlerà di una voce graziosa, non fidartici; Perciocchè egli ha sette scelleratezze nel cuore. 26 L’odio si copre con inganno; Ma la sua malignità sarà palesata in piena raunanza. 27 Chi cava una fossa caderà in essa; E se alcuno rotola una pietra ad alto, ella gli tornerà addosso. 28 La lingua bugiarda odia quelli ch’ella ha fiaccati; E la bocca lusinghiera produce ruina.
ItalianRiveduta(i) 1 Come la neve non conviene all’estate, né la pioggia al tempo della mèsse, così non conviene la gloria allo stolto. 2 Come il passero vaga qua e là e la rondine vola, così la maledizione senza motivo, non raggiunge l’effetto. 3 La frusta per il cavallo, la briglia per l’asino, e il bastone per il dosso degli stolti. 4 Non rispondere allo stolto secondo la sua follia, che tu non gli abbia a somigliare. 5 Rispondi allo stolto secondo la sua follia, perché non abbia a credersi savio. 6 Chi affida messaggi a uno stolto si taglia i piedi e s’abbevera di pene. 7 Come le gambe dello zoppo son senza forza, così è una massima in bocca degli stolti. 8 Chi onora uno stolto fa come chi getta una gemma in un mucchio di sassi. 9 Una massima in bocca agli stolti è come un ramo spinoso in mano a un ubriaco. 10 Chi impiega lo stolto e il primo che capita, è come un arciere che ferisce tutti. 11 Lo stolto che ricade nella sua follia, è come il cane che torna al suo vomito. 12 Hai tu visto un uomo che si crede savio? C’è più da sperare da uno stolto che da lui. 13 Il pigro dice: "C’è un leone nella strada, c’è un leone per le vie!" 14 Come la porta si volge sui cardini così il pigro sul suo letto. 15 Il pigro tuffa la mano nel piatto; gli par fatica riportarla alla bocca. 16 Il pigro si crede più savio di sette uomini che dànno risposte sensate. 17 Il passante che si riscalda per una contesa che non lo concerne, è come chi afferra un cane per le orecchie. 18 Come un pazzo che avventa tizzoni, frecce e morte, 19 così è colui che inganna il prossimo, e dice: "Ho fatto per ridere!" 20 Quando mancan le legna, il fuoco si spegne; e quando non c’è maldicente, cessan le contese. 21 Come il carbone da la brace, e le legna dànno la fiamma, così l’uomo rissoso accende le liti. 22 Le parole del maldicente son come ghiottonerie, e penetrano fino nell’intimo delle viscere. 23 Labbra ardenti e un cuor malvagio son come schiuma d’argento spalmata sopra un vaso di terra. 24 Chi odia, parla con dissimulazione; ma, dentro, cova la frode. 25 Quando parla con voce graziosa, non te ne fidare, perché ha sette abominazioni in cuore. 26 L’odio suo si nasconde sotto la finzione, ma la sua malvagità si rivelerà nell’assemblea. 27 Chi scava una fossa vi cadrà, e la pietra torna addosso a chi la rotola. 28 La lingua bugiarda odia quelli che ha ferito, e la bocca lusinghiera produce rovina.
Korean(i) 1 미련한 자에게는 영예가 적당하지 아니하니 마치 여름에 눈오는 것과 추수 때에 비오는 것 같으니라 2 까닭 없는 저주는 참새의 떠도는 것과 제비의 날아가는 것 같이 이르지 아니하느니라 3 말에게는 채찍이요 나귀에게는 자갈이요 미련한 자의 등에는 막대기니라 4 미련한 자의 어리석은 것을 따라 대답하지 말라 두렵건대 네가 그와 같을까 하노라 5 미련한 자의 어리석은 것을 따라 그에게 대답하라 두렵건대 그가 스스로 지혜롭게 여길까 하노라 6 미련한 자 편에 기별하는 것은 자기의 발을 베어 버림이라 해를 받느니라 7 저는 자의 다리는 힘 없이 달렸나니 미련한 자의 입의 잠언도 그러하니라 8 미련한 자에게 영예를 주는 것은 돌을 물매에 매는 것과 같으니라 9 미련한 자의 입의 잠언은 술 취한 자의 손에 든 가시나무 같으니라 10 장인이 온갖 것을 만들지라도 미련한 자를 고용하는 것은 지나가는 자를 고용함과 같으니라 11 개가 그 토한 것을 도로 먹는 것 같이 미련한 자는 그 미련한 것을 거듭 행하느니라 12 네가 스스로 지혜롭게 여기는 자를 보느냐 그보다 미련한 자에게 오히려 바랄 것이 있느니라 13 게으른 자는 길에 사자가 있다 거리에 사자가 있다 하느니라 14 문짝이 돌쩌귀를 따라서 도는 것 같이 게으른 자는 침상에서 구으느니라 15 게으른 자는 그 손을 그릇에 넣고도 입으로 올리기를 괴로와하느니라 16 게으른 자는 선히 대답하는 사람 일곱보다 자기를 지혜롭게 여기느니라 17 길로 지나다가 자기에게 상관없는 다툼을 간섭하는 자는 개 귀를 잡는 자와 같으니라 18 횃불을 던지며 살을 쏘아서 사람을 죽이는 미친 사람이 있나니 19 자기 이웃을 속이고 말하기를 내가 희롱하였노라 하는 자도 그러하니라 20 나무가 다하면 불이 꺼지고 말장이가 없어지면 다툼이 쉬느니라 21 숯불 위에 숯을 더하는 것과 타는 불에 나무를 더하는 것 같이 다툼을 좋아하는 자는 시비를 일으키느니라 22 남의 말하기를 좋아하는 자의 말은 별식과 같아서 뱃 속 깊은 데로 내려가느니라 23 온유한 입술에 악한 마음은 낮은 은을 입힌 토기니라 24 감정있는 자는 입술로는 꾸미고 속에는 궤휼을 품나니 25 그 말이 좋을지라도 믿지 말 것은 그 마음에 일곱 가지 가증한 것이 있음이라 26 궤휼로 그 감정을 감출지라도 그 악이 회중 앞에 드러나리라 27 함정을 파는 자는 그것에 빠질 것이요 돌을 굴리는 자는 도리어 그것에 치이리라 28 거짓말하는 자는 자기의 해한 자를 미워하고 아첨하는 입은 패망을 일으키느니라
Lithuanian(i) 1 Kaip sniegas vasarą ir lietus pjūties metu, taip garbė netinka kvailiui. 2 Kaip žvirblis nuskrenda ir kregždė nulekia, taip neišsipildys neužpelnytas prakeikimas. 3 Botagas arkliui, žąslai asilui, rykštė kvailio nugarai. 4 Neatsakyk kvailiui pagal jo kvailumą, kad netaptum panašus į jį. 5 Atsakyk kvailiui pagal jo kvailumą taip, kad jis neatrodytų sau išmintingas. 6 Kas siunčia kvailą pasiuntinį, nusikerta kojas ir patiria nuostolį. 7 Kaip luošas negali vaikščioti savo kojomis, taip patarlė netinka kvailiui. 8 Gerbti kvailą yra kaip dėti brangakmenį į mėtyklę. 9 Kaip erškėtis girtuoklio rankoje, taip patarlė kvailio burnoje. 10 Didis Dievas, kuris visa padarė, atlygina kvailiui ir neištikimam. 11 Kaip šuo grįžta prie savo vėmalo, taip kvailys kartoja savo kvailystes. 12 Kvailys teikia daugiau vilties negu žmogus, kuris laiko save išmintingu. 13 Tinginys sako: “Liūtas kelyje! Žiaurus liūtas gatvėje!” 14 Kaip durys sukasi ant vyrių, taip tinginys vartosi lovoje. 15 Tinginys įkiša savo ranką į dubenį, bet jam sunku pakelti ją prie burnos. 16 Tinginys laiko save išmintingesniu už septynis vyrus, galinčius išmintingai atsakyti. 17 Kas praeidamas įsikiša į vaidus, kurie jo neliečia, elgiasi kaip tas, kuris šunį griebia už ausų. 18 Kaip beprotis, kuris mėto žarijas, laido strėles ir žudo, 19 yra tas, kas apgauna artimą ir sako: “Aš pajuokavau”. 20 Kai nėra malkų, gęsta ugnis; pašalinus apkalbėtoją, baigiasi ginčai. 21 Kaip iš anglių atsiranda žarijos ir iš malkų ugnis, taip vaidingas žmogus sukelia kivirčus. 22 Apkalbos yra lyg skanėstas, kuris pasiekia žmogaus vidurius. 23 Karšti žodžiai ir nedora širdis yra kaip sidabro priemaišomis aptraukta molinė šukė. 24 Kas neapkenčia, slepia tai po savo lūpomis ir laiko klastą savyje. 25 Kai jis kalba maloniai, netikėk juo: jo širdyje yra septynios bjaurystės. 26 Nors jis neapykantą slepia žodžiais, jo nedorybė paaiškės tautos susirinkime. 27 Kas kasa duobę, pats į ją įkrinta. Kas parita akmenį, ant to jis sugrįžta. 28 Meluojantis liežuvis nekenčia tų, kurie nuo jo nukenčia. Pataikaujanti burna sukelia pražūtį.
PBG(i) 1 Jako śnieg w lecie, i jako deszcz we żniwa; tak głupiemu nie przystoi chwała. 2 Jako się ptak tam i sam tuła, i jako jaskółka lata: tak przeklęstwo niezasłużone nie przyjdzie. 3 Bicz na konia, ogłów na osła, a kij potrzebny jest na grzbiet głupiego. 4 Nie odpowiadaj głupiemu według głupstwa jego, abyś mu i ty nie był podobny. 5 Odpowiedz głupiemu według głupstwa jego, aby się sobie nie zdał być mądrym. 6 Jakoby nogi obciął, tak się bezprawia dopuszcza, kto się głupiemu poselstwa powierza. 7 Jako nierówne są golenie u chromego: tak jest powieść w ustach głupich. 8 Jako kiedy kto przywiązuje kamień drogi do procy: tak czyni ten, który uczciwość głupiemu wyrządza. 9 Jako ciernie, gdy się dostaną w rękę pijanego: tak przypowieść jest w ustach głupich. 10 Wielki Pan stworzył wszystko, a daje zapłatę głupiemu, daje także zapłatę przestępcom. 11 Jako pies wraca się do zwrócenia swego: tak głupi powtarza głupstwo swoje. 12 Ujrzyszli człowieka, co się sobie zda być mądrym, nadzieja o głupim lepsza jest, niżeli o nim. 13 Leniwy mówi: lew na drodze, lew na ulicach. 14 Jako się drzwi obracają na zawiasach swoich: tak leniwiec na łóżku swojem. 15 Leniwiec rękę kryje do zanadrzy swych, a ciężko mu jej podnosić do ust swoich. 16 Leniwiec zda się sobie być mędrszym, niżeli siedm odpowiadających z rozsądkiem. 17 Jakoby też psa za uszy łapał, kto się mimo idąc w cudzą zwadę wdaje. 18 Jako szalony wypuszcza iskry i strzały śmiertelne: 19 Tak jest każdy, który podchodzi przyjaciela swego, a mówi: Azam ja nie żartował? 20 Gdy niestaje drew, gaśnie ogień; tak gdy nie będzie klatecznika, ucichnie zwada. 21 Jako węgiel martwy służy do rozniecenia, i drwa do ognia; tak człowiek swarliwy do rozniecenia zwady. 22 Słowa obmówcy są jako słowa zranionych; a wszakże przenikają do wnętrzności żywota. 23 Wargi nieprzyjacielskie i serce złe są jako srebrna piana, którą polewają naczynie gliniane. 24 Ten, co kogo nienawidzi, za inszego się udaje wargami swemi; ale w sercu swojem myśli o zdradzie. 25 Gdyć się ochotnym mową swą ukazuje, nie wierz mu: bo siedmioraka obrzydliwość jest w sercu jego. 26 Nienawiść zdradliwie bywa pokryta; ale odkryta bywa złość jej w zgromadzeniu. 27 Kto drugiemu dół kopie, wpada weń; a kto kamień toczy, na niego się obraca. 28 Człowiek języka kłamliwego ma utrapienie w nienawiści, a usta łagodne przywodzą do upadku.
Portuguese(i) 1 Como a neve no verão, e como a chuva no tempo da ceifa, assim não convém ao tolo a honra. 2 Como o pássaro no seu vaguear, como a andorinha no seu voar, assim a maldição sem causa não encontra pouso. 3 O açoite é para o cavalo, o freio para o jumento, e a vara para as costas dos tolos. 4 Não respondas ao tolo segundo a sua estultícia, para que também não te faças semelhante a ele. 5 Responde ao tolo segundo a sua estultícia, para que ele não seja sábio aos seus próprios olhos. 6 Os pés decepa, e o dano bebe, quem manda mensagens pela mão dum tolo. 7 As pernas do coxo pendem frouxas; assim é o provérbio na boca dos tolos. 8 Como o que ata a pedra na funda, assim é aquele que dá honra ao tolo. 9 Como o espinho que entra na mão do ébrio, assim é o provérbio na mão dos tolos. 10 Como o flecheiro que fere a todos, assim é aquele que assalaria ao transeunte tolo, ou ao ébrio. 11 Como o cão que torna ao seu vómito, assim é o tolo que reitera a sua estultícia. 12 Vês um homem que é sábio a seus próprios olhos? Maior esperança há para o tolo do que para ele. 13 Diz o preguiçoso: Um leão está no caminho; um leão está nas ruas. 14 Como a porta se revolve nos seus gonzos, assim o faz o preguiçoso na sua cama. 15 O preguiçoso esconde a sua mão no prato, e nem ao menos quer levá-la de novo à boca. 16 Mais sábio é o preguiçoso a seus olhos do que sete homens que sabem responder bem. 17 O que, passando, se mete em questão alheia é como aquele que toma um cão pelas orelhas. 18 Como o louco que atira tições, flechas, e morte, 19 assim é o homem que engana o seu próximo, e diz: Fiz isso por brincadeira. 20 Faltando lenha, apaga-se o fogo; e não havendo difamador, cessa a contenda. 21 Como o carvão para as brasas, e a lenha para o fogo, assim é o homem contencioso para acender rixas. 22 As palavras do difamador são como bocados deliciosos, que descem ao íntimo do ventre. 23 Como o vaso de barro coberto de escória de prata, assim são os lábios ardentes e o coração maligno. 24 Aquele que odeia dissimula com os seus lábios; mas no seu interior entesoura o engano. 25 Quando te suplicar com voz suave, não o creias; porque sete abominações há no teu coração. 26 Ainda que o seu ódio se encubra com dissimulação, na congregação será revelada a sua malícia. 27 O que faz uma cova cairá nela; e a pedra voltará sobre aquele que a revolve. 28 A língua falsa odeia aqueles a quem ela tenha ferido; e a boca lisonjeira opera a ruína.
Romanian(i) 1 Cum nu se potrivesc zăpada vara, şi ploaia în timpul secerişului, aşa nu se potriveşte slava pentru un nebun. 2 Cum sare vrabia încoace şi încolo şi cum sboară rîndunica, aşa nu nimereşte blestemul neîntemeiat. - 3 Biciul este pentru cal, frîul pentru măgar, şi nuiaua pentru spinarea nebunilor. - 4 Nu răspunde nebunului după nebunia lui, ca să nu semeni şi tu cu el. - 5 Răspunde însă nebunului după nebunia lui, ca să nu se creadă înţelept. - 6 Celce trimete o solie printr'un nebun, îşi taie singur picioarele, şi bea nedreptatea. - 7 Cum sînt picioarele ologului, aşa este şi o vorbă înţeleaptă în gura unor nebuni. - 8 Cum ai pune o piatră în praştie, aşa este cînd dai mărire unui nebun. - 9 Ca un spin care vine în mîna unui om beat, aşa este o vorbă înţeleaptă în gura nebunilor. - 10 Ca un arcaş care răneşte pe toată lumea, aşa este celce tocmeşte pe nebuni şi pe întîii veniţi. - 11 Cum se întoarce cînele la ce a vărsat, aşa se întoarce nebunul la nebunia lui. - 12 Dacă vezi un om care se crede înţelept, poţi să ai mai multă nădejde pentru un nebun decît pentru el. - 13 Leneşul zice:,,Afară este un leu, pe uliţe este un leu! 14 Cum se învîrteşte uşa pe ţîţînile ei, aşa se învîrteşte leneşul în patul lui. 15 Leneşul îşi vîră mîna în blid, şi -i vine greu s'o ducă iarăş la gură. - 16 Leneşul se crede mai înţelept decît şapte oameni cari răspund cu judecată. 17 Un trecător care se amestecă într'o ceartă care nu -l priveşte, este ca unul care apucă un cîne de urechi. 18 Ca nebunul care aruncă săgeţi aprise şi ucigătoare, 19 aşa este omul care înşală pe aproapele său, şi apoi zice:,,Am vrut doar să glumesc!`` - 20 Cînd nu mai sînt lemne, focul se stinge; şi cînd nu mai este niciun clevetitor, cearta se potoleşte. 21 După cum cărbunele face jăratic, şi lemnul foc, tot aşa şi omul gîlcevitor aprinde cearta. 22 Cuvintele clevetitorului sînt ca nişte prăjituri, alunecă pînă în fundul măruntaielor. - 23 Ca zgura de argint pusă pe un ciob de pămînt, aşa sînt buzele aprinse şi o inimă rea. 24 Celce urăşte se preface cu buzele lui, şi înlăuntrul lui pregăteşte înşelăciunea. 25 Cînd îţi vorbeşte cu glas dulce, nu -l crede, căci şapte urîciuni sînt în inima lui. 26 Chiar dacă-şi ascunde ura în prefăcătorie, totuş răutatea lui se va descoperi în adunare. - 27 Cine sapă groapa altuia cade el în ea, şi piatra se întoarce peste cel ce o prăvăleşte. 28 Limba mincinoasă urăşte pe cei pe cari -i doboară ea, şi gura linguşitoare pregăteşte pieirea. -
Ukrainian(i) 1 Як літом той сніг, і як дощ у жнива, так не лицює глупцеві пошана. 2 Як пташка літає, як ластівка лине, так невинне прокляття не сповниться. 3 Батіг на коня, оброть на осла, а різка на спину глупців. 4 Нерозумному відповіді не давай за нерозум його, щоб і ти не став рівний йому. 5 Нерозумному відповідь дай за безумством його, щоб він в очах своїх не став мудрим. 6 Хто через глупця посилає слова, той ноги собі обтинає, отруту він п'є. 7 Як волочаться ноги в кульгавого, так у безумних устах приповістка. 8 Як прив'язувати камінь коштовний до пращі, так глупцеві пошану давати. 9 Як терен, що влізе у руку, отак приповістка в устах нерозумного. 10 Як стрілець, що все ранить, так і той, хто наймає глупця, і наймає усяких прохожих. 11 Як вертається пес до своєї блювотини, так глупоту свою повторяє глупак. 12 Чи ти бачив людину, що мудра в очах своїх? Більша надія глупцеві, ніж їй. 13 Лінивий говорить: Лев на дорозі! Лев на майдані! 14 Двері обертаються на своєму чопі, а лінивий на ліжку своїм. 15 Свою руку лінивий стромляє до миски, та піднести до рота її йому тяжко. 16 Лінивий мудріший ув очах своїх за сімох, що відповідають розумно. 17 Пса за вуха хапає, хто, йдучи, устряває до сварки чужої. 18 Як той, хто вдає божевільного, кидає іскри, стріли та смерть, 19 так і людина, що обманює друга свого та каже: Таж це я жартую!... 20 З браку дров огонь гасне, а без пліткаря мовкне сварка. 21 Вугілля для жару, а дрова огневі, а людина сварлива щоб сварку розпалювати. 22 Слова обмовника мов ті присмаки, й у нутро живота вони сходять. 23 Як срібло з жужелицею, на горшкові накладене, так полум'яні уста, а серце лихе, 24 устами своїми маскується ворог, і ховає оману в своєму нутрі: 25 коли він говорить лагідно не вір ти йому, бо в серці його сім огид! 26 Як ненависть прикрита оманою, її зло відкривається в зборі. 27 Хто яму копає, той в неї впаде, а хто котить каміння на нього воно повертається. 28 Брехливий язик ненавидить своїх утискуваних, і уста гладенькі до згуби провадять.
