Proverbs 26

Gen Z: Proverbs 26

1Snow in summer? Rain during harvest? Honoring a fool is just sus, fr.

2Just like a bird bounces around, a curse ain't gonna hit if it ain't got a reason, no cap.

3A whip for the horse, bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool’s back? That’s just savage.

4Don’t even engage a fool with their nonsense, or you’ll just end up looking like one too.

5But sometimes you gotta call out a fool on their BS, or they’ll think they’re all that.

6Sending a message with a fool is like cutting off your own feet—total damage, bro.

7Lame legs ain't even, and neither is wisdom from fools—it just don’t vibe.

8Giving honor to a fool is like tying a stone to a sling—just a bad move, periodt.

9A thorn in a drunkard's hand? That’s what a parable sounds like coming from fools, fr.

10The big guy who made everything rewards fools and transgressors alike—gotta respect the hustle.

11A dog goes back to its own throw-up, just like a fool keeps doing dumb stuff. No cap.

12You see a dude who thinks he's all that? There's more hope for a fool than for him, fr.

13The lazy dude's like, "Nah, there's a lion outside," acting all sus.

14Just like a door swings on its hinges, the lazy guy rolls around in bed.

15The lazy dude hides his hand like it's a secret, but he can't even snack without a struggle.

16The sluggard thinks he's smarter than seven wise guys put together, but that's just savage.

17If you mess with drama that ain't yours, you're like grabbing a dog by its ears. Straight up wild.

18It's like a crazy person throwing fire and arrows everywhere, just chaotic vibes.

19That’s the same as a dude who tricks his neighbor and goes, "Chill, I’m just playing," but that's sus.

20Where there’s no wood, the fire’s out; same with gossip—no gossip, no drama. Periodt.

21A shady dude is like coals to fire, just starting beef all the time. So sus.

22Gossip hits harder than wounds, going deep down in your feels. No cap.

23Fake smiles and a wicked heart? That's like a busted pot with silver on it.

24If someone’s throwing shade with their words, trust me, they’re hiding some savage vibes inside.

25When they sound chill, don’t fall for it: seven red flags in their heart, fr.

26If your hate is wrapped in lies, your bad vibes will be exposed to the whole squad.

27Digging a pit? You’re just asking to fall in it. Rolling a stone? It’s gonna roll back at you, fam.

28A lying tongue is brutal to those it hurts; flattery is just a straight-up trap.

KJV: Proverbs 26

1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

2As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.

4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

7The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

8As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

9As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

11As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

13The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

14As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

15The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

18As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

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

21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

26Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

28A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
