Bible. Proverbs
20:025:015 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue
breaketh the bone.
20:025:016 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee,
lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
20:025:017 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary
of thee, and so hate thee.
20:025:018 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a
maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
20:025:019 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a
broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20:025:020 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as
vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy
heart.
20:025:021 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be
thirsty, give him water to drink:
20:025:022 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD
shall reward thee.
20:025:023 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance
a backbiting tongue.
20:025:024 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with
a brawling woman and in a wide house.
20:025:025 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far
country.
20:025:026 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a
troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
20:025:027 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their
own glory is not glory.
20:025:028 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that
is broken down, and without walls.
20:026:001 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not
seemly for a fool.
20:026:002 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the
curse causeless shall not come.
20:026:003 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the
fool's back.
20:026:004 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be
like unto him.
20:026:005 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his
own conceit.
20:026:006 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off
the feet, and drinketh damage.
20:026:007 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the
mouth of fools.
20:026:008 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth
honour to a fool.
20:026:009 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a
parable in the mouths of fools.
20:026:010 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool,
and rewardeth transgressors.
20:026:011 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his
folly.
20:026:012 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope
of a fool than of him.
20:026:013 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is
in the streets.
