Proverbs 26
- 1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool.
- 2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
- 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
- 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like to him.
- 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
- 6 He that sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet, and drinks damage.
- 7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- 8 As he that binds a stone in a sling, so is he that gives honor to a fool.
- 9 As a thorn goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
- 10 The great God that formed all things both rewards the fool, and rewards transgressors.
- 11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.
- 12 See you a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
- 13 The slothful man says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
- 14 As the door turns on his hinges, so does the slothful on his bed.
- 15 The slothful hides his hand in his bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.
- 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
- 17 He that passes by, and meddles with strife belonging not to him, is like one that takes a dog by the ears.
- 18 As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
- 19 So is the man that deceives his neighbor, and says, Am not I in sport?
- 20 Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
- 21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
- 22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
- 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
- 24 He that hates dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within him;
- 25 When he speaks fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
- 26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.
- 27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolls a stone, it will return on him.
- 28 A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
Michael Peter (Stone) Engelbrite
