Proverbs 26
- 1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.
- 2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.
- 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.
- 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou also be like unto him.
- 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.
- 6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool Cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh in damage.
- 7 The legs of the lame hang loose; So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- 8 As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.
- 9 Asa thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
- 10 As an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.
- 11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, So isa fool that repeateth his folly.
- 12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
- 13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.
- 14 Asthe door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
- 15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth 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 passeth by, and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, Islikeone that taketh a dog by the ears.
- 18 As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death,
- 19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, Am not I in sport?
- 20 For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
- 21 Ascoals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.
- 22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
- 23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart Arelikean earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
- 24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips; But he layeth up deceit within him:
- 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not; For there are seven abominations in his heart:
- 26 Though hishatred cover itself with guile, His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.
- 27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; And he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
- 28 A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
