箴言 26

1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
2麻雀往来，燕子翻飞； 这样，无故的咒诅也必不临到。
2Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

4Don’t answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.

18Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,
no verse 19 in this text
19is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”

28A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
