Como nieve en el verano y como lluvia en la siega^a,así la honra no es apropiada para el necio^b.2 Como el gorrión en su vagar y la golondrina en su vuelo^aasí la maldición no viene sin causa^b.3 El látigo es para el caballo, la brida para el asno^a,y la vara para la espalda de los necios^b.4 No respondas al necio de acuerdo con su necedad^a,para que no seas tú también como él.5 Responde al necio según su necedad^a,para que no sea sabio ante sus propios ojos^b.6 Se corta los pies y bebe violenciael que envía recado por mano de necio.7 Como las piernas que penden del lisiado,así es el proverbio en boca de los necios.8 Como el que ata¹ la piedra a la hondaasí es el que da honor al necio.9 Como espina que se clava¹ en la mano de un borracho,tal es el proverbio en boca de los necios.10 Como arquero que a todos hiere,así es el que toma a sueldo al necio o a¹ los que pasan.11 Como perro que vuelve a su vómito^aes el necio que repite su¹ necedad^b.12 ¿Has visto a un hombre que se tiene por sabio¹^a?Más esperanza hay para el necio que para él^b.13 El perezoso dice^a: Hay un león en el camino;hay un león en medio de la plaza.14 Como la puerta gira sobre sus goznes,así da vueltas el perezoso en su cama^a.15 El perezoso mete la mano en el plato^a,pero se fatiga de llevársela a la boca.16 El perezoso es más sabio ante sus propios ojosque siete que den una respuesta discreta¹^a.17 Como el que toma un perro por las orejas,así es el que pasa y se entremete¹ en contienda que no es suya^a.18 Como el enloquecido que lanzateas encendidas^a, flechas y muerte,19 así es el hombre que engaña a su prójimo^a,y dice: ¿Acaso no estaba yo bromeando^b?20 Por falta de leña se apaga el fuego,y donde no hay chismoso^a, se calma la contienda^b.21 Como carbón para las brasas y leña para el fuego,así es el hombre rencilloso para encender contiendas^a.22 Las palabras del chismoso son como bocados deliciosos,y penetran hasta el fondo de las entrañas¹^a.23 Como vasija de barro revestida de escoria de plata^a,así son los labios ardientes y el corazón perverso.24 El que odia, disimula con sus labios^a,mas en su corazón¹ acumula engaño^b.25 Cuando su voz sea agradable, no lo creas,pues hay siete abominaciones en su corazón^a.26 Aunque su odio se cubra con engaño^a,su perversidad será descubierta en la asamblea^b.27 El que cava un hoyo caerá en él^a,y el que hace rodar una piedra, sobre él volverá.28 La lengua mentirosa odia a los que oprime¹,y la boca lisonjera causa ruina^a.

Similitudes and Instructions

Like snow in summer and like ^arain in harvest,So honor is not ^bfitting for a fool.2 Like a ^asparrow in its ¹flitting, like a swallow in its flying,So a ^bcurse without cause does not come to rest.3 A ^awhip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,And a ^brod for the back of fools.4 ^aDo not answer a fool ¹according to his foolishness,Or you will also be like him.5 ^aAnswer a fool as his foolishness deserves,So that he will not be ^bwise in his own eyes.6 One who sends a message by the hand of a foolChops off his own feet and drinks violence.7 Like ¹useless legs to one who cannot walk,So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.8 Like ¹one who binds a stone in a sling,So is one who gives honor to a fool.9 Like a thorn that ¹sticks in the hand of a heavy drinker,So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.10 ¹Like an archer who wounds everyone,So is one who hires a fool or hires those who pass by.11 Like ^aa dog that returns to its vomit,So is a fool who ^brepeats ¹his foolishness.12 Do you see a person ^awise in his own eyes?^bThere is more hope for a fool than for him.13 ¹A ^alazy one says, “There is a lion on the road!A lion is ²in the public square!”14 As the door turns on its hinges,So does a ^alazy one on his bed.15 A ^alazy one buries his hand in the dish;He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.16 A lazy one is ^awiser in his own eyesThan seven people who can ¹give a discreet answer.17 Like one who takes a dog by the ears,So is one who passes by and ¹meddles with ^astrife not belonging to him.18 Like a maniac who shoots^aFlaming arrows, arrows, and death,19 So is a person who ^adeceives his neighbor,And says, “^bWas I not joking?”20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,And where there is no ^agossiper, ^bquarreling quiets down.21 Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,So is a ^acontentious person to kindle strife.22 The ^awords of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,And they go down into the ¹innermost parts of the body.23 Like an earthenware ^avessel overlaid with silver ¹^bimpuritiesAre burning lips and a wicked heart.24 One who ^ahates disguises it with his lips,But he harbors ^bdeceit in his ¹heart.25 When ¹he ^aspeaks graciously, do not believe him,Because there are seven abominations in his heart.26 Though his hatred ^acovers itself with deception,His wickedness will be ^brevealed in the assembly.27 One who ^adigs a pit will fall into it,And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.28 A lying tongue hates ¹those it crushes,And a ^aflattering mouth works ruin.
