Proverb Chapter 26

Prov 26

Proverb of Solomon by men of Hezekiah 

1 If glory is suitable for a fool, then it is like snow in summer (peak of heat) and rain in harvest-time.

2 just as birds fly, and at liberty to be nomadic/roam about, curse will go without-cost/charge:

3 As bit/bridles, is, to donkey and just as whip (for pushing forth), is, to horses, same with the fools who are at the back/in the midst of their clans.

4 A fool will equally answer, but it is with foolishness. 

5 A fool has answered the Wise in his own eyes, but it is with foolishness.

6 If the hands and feet of a fool is edged/limited, on the basis of his spoken-word, he will still send it out unto violence.

7 just as the leg of a lame is feeble/hanging down, so is a parable in the mouth of a fool:

8 like stones cramped/packed up for a mortar/slinging artillery, so is, giving of glory to a fool:

9 like thorns inside a hand, and like a drunken man ascending up, so is a parable in the mouth of a fool:

10 A fool will still whirl/dance round in abundance for his earned-wages, having crossed over to hire out himself;

11 A fool will only transmute/alter his foolishness, because, a dog will still return to its vomit.

12 What is the hope of the fool who see the Wise with the eyes of an ordinary-man? 

13 Only a lazy man, would says, jackals are now in the broad-streets -and lions are on our main roads: (always exaggerating) 

14 like a swinging door turning around hinges, so is it when a lazy man is stretching out his administration. 

15 a lazy-man will cover his mouth (be speechless) due to his tiredness, to restore a sophisticated dinning plate/utensil. (Prov 19:24)

16 when the taste of a lazy-man has been restored in his own eyes, that of the Wise is until seven-times (till completion).

17 If you are passing by and hold on strongly to a dog, things of much contest will pass through your ears.

18 the connection/link to a place of death, is a fearfully burning/flared up arrow in us.

19 some said, how will someone at certain heights be playing/sporting with his neighbors? But they are all ordinary men.

20 At the cessation of wood, fire will be extinguished, - even the quarrel from a grumbler/nagging person will still subside/be silenced:

21 like wood on fire, and from (black) charcoal unto (red) live-coal, so is a man who is into (matters from law) and got incited/kindled into a contest/strife.

22 Spoken-words from grumbler/nagging person will descend into the belly and will be with THEM even in their bed-chamber: (Prov 18:8)

23 a kind of heart with traces, of a silver-coated-potsherd, will be fuelled/inflamed into evil by things from some lips.

24 it is things from the lips of foreigners who hate you, that will place/put deceit among you:

25 the abomination is seven times in a heart who believe in showing mercy but only in his voice.

26 A congregation with a support for hatred will cover up the evil instead of revealing it.

27 If someone dig a pit for others to fall into, rolling a stone across it will restore things.

28 hate false tongues because things from the mouth of the afflicted one is part of what do things unto their overthrow/expulsion.
