20:026:001 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not
           seemly for a fool.

20:026:002 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the
           curse causeless shall not come.

20:026:003 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the
           fool’s back.

20:026:004 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be
           like unto him.

20:026:005 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his
           own conceit.

20:026:006 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off
           the feet, and drinketh damage.

20:026:007 The legs of the lame are not equal:  so is a parable in the
           mouth of fools.

20:026:008 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth
           honour to a fool.

20:026:009 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a
           parable in the mouths of fools.

20:026:010 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool,
           and rewardeth transgressors.

20:026:011 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his
           folly.

20:026:012 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope
           of a fool than of him.

20:026:013 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is
           in the streets.

20:026:014 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon
           his bed.

20:026:015 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to
           bring it again to his mouth.

20:026:016 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that
           can render a reason.

20:026:017 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to
           him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

20:026:018 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

20:026:019 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not
           I in sport?

20:026:020 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out:  so where there is
           no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

20:026:021 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a
           contentious man to kindle strife.

20:026:022 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into
           the innermost parts of the belly.

20:026:023 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered
           with silver dross.

20:026:024 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit
           within him;

20:026:025 When he speaketh fair, believe him not:  for there are seven
           abominations in his heart.

20:026:026 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be
           shewed before the whole congregation.
