WEBVTT 00:01.080 --> 00:07.600 Chapter 26 As snow in summer and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a 00:07.600 --> 00:07.880 fool. 00:08.760 --> 00:13.860 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall 00:13.860 --> 00:14.420 not come. 00:15.440 --> 00:19.740 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. 00:21.060 --> 00:25.060 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be likened to him. 00:25.720 --> 00:30.180 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. 00:31.680 --> 00:36.100 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet and drinketh 00:36.100 --> 00:36.640 damage. 00:37.660 --> 00:41.800 The legs of the lame are not equal, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 00:42.980 --> 00:48.020 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 00:49.000 --> 00:54.180 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of 00:54.180 --> 00:54.520 fools. 00:55.660 --> 01:00.880 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool and rewardeth 01:00.880 --> 01:01.740 transgressors. 01:02.700 --> 01:07.320 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. 01:08.540 --> 01:10.860 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? 01:11.380 --> 01:13.920 There is more hope of a fool than of him. 01:14.680 --> 01:18.960 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way, a lion is in the streets. 01:19.780 --> 01:24.640 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 01:25.440 --> 01:30.480 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom, it grieveth him to bring it again to his 01:30.480 --> 01:30.760 mouth. 01:31.860 --> 01:36.080 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. 01:36.900 --> 01:41.580 He that passeth by, and medleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one 01:41.580 --> 01:43.240 that taketh a dog by the ears. 01:44.220 --> 01:48.640 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, so is the man that 01:48.640 --> 01:51.940 deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? 01:53.320 --> 01:55.860 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out. 01:56.420 --> 01:59.380 So where there is no tail-bearer, the strife ceaseth. 02:00.000 --> 02:04.880 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man 02:04.880 --> 02:05.780 to kindle strife. 02:06.420 --> 02:11.400 The words of a tail-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts 02:11.400 --> 02:11.840 of the belly. 02:13.100 --> 02:17.340 Burning lips, and a wicked heart, are like a potsherd covered with silver 02:17.340 --> 02:17.880 dross. 02:19.180 --> 02:23.460 He that hateth, dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him. 02:24.420 --> 02:28.720 When he speaketh fair, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his 02:28.720 --> 02:29.020 heart. 02:29.800 --> 02:34.260 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the 02:34.260 --> 02:35.160 whole congregation. 02:36.620 --> 02:41.780 Whoso diggeth a pit, shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it will 02:41.780 --> 02:42.860 return upon him. 02:43.860 --> 02:48.020 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it, and a flattering mouth 02:48.020 --> 02:48.960 worketh ruin.
