Proverbios 26
La Palabra (España)
26 Ni nieve al verano ni lluvia a la siega
ni honores al necio sientan bien.
2 Como gorrión o golondrina sin rumbo,
la maldición sin motivo no prospera.
3 Látigo para el caballo, ramal para el asno
y vara para la espalda de los necios.
4 No respondas al necio con su insensatez
no sea que también tú te vuelvas como él.
5 Responde al necio por su insensatez
no vaya a presumir de sabio.
6 Se amputa los pies y se busca problemas
quien envía mensajes por medio de necios.
7 Como fallan las piernas al cojo,
así el proverbio en boca de necios.
8 Como atar una piedra a la honda,
así es rendir honores a un necio.
9 Cardo en manos de borracho,
el proverbio en boca de necios.
10 Arquero que hiere a cualquier transeúnte,
quien contrata a necio o vagabundo.
11 Como el perro que lame su vómito,
el necio que repite sus sandeces.
12 Más se puede esperar de un necio
que de alguien que presume de sabio.
13 Dice el perezoso: “¡Hay un león en el camino!
¡Una fiera en medio de la calle!”.
14 La puerta gira en sus bisagras,
el perezoso da vueltas en su cama.
15 El perezoso mete la mano en el plato,
pero le cansa llevarla a su boca.
16 El perezoso se cree más sabio
que siete que saben responder.
17 Tira de las orejas a un perro
quien va de paso y se mete en riña ajena.
18 Como un loco que dispara
flechas y saetas mortales,
19 así es el que engaña a su prójimo
y luego dice que todo era broma.
20 Cuando falta la leña, se apaga el fuego;
donde no hay chismosos, se acaban las riñas.
21 Con carbón se hacen brasas y con leña fuego,
las peleas las atiza el camorrista.
22 Las palabras del calumniador son golosinas,
penetran hasta lo más profundo.
23 Baño de plata en vasija de barro
son los labios melosos con mala intención.
24 Disimula al hablar el que odia,
pero en su interior alberga engaño;
25 aunque te hable con dulzura, no te fíes;
su mente esconde siete maldiciones;
26 aunque oculte su odio con astucia,
su maldad quedará probada en público.
27 En la fosa que cavas caerás,
la piedra que ruedas te aplastará.
28 Lengua mentirosa tortura a sus víctimas,
boca aduladora lleva a la ruina.
Proverbs 26
New International Version
Proverbs 26
New International Version
26 Like snow in summer or rain(A) in harvest,
honor is not fitting for a fool.(B)
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse does not come to rest.(C)
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,(D)
and a rod for the backs of fools!(E)
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.(F)
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.(G)
6 Sending a message by the hands of a fool(H)
is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.
7 Like the useless legs of one who is lame
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(I)
8 Like tying a stone in a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.(J)
9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(K)
10 Like an archer who wounds at random
is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,(L)
so fools repeat their folly.(M)
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?(N)
There is more hope for a fool than for them.(O)
13 A sluggard says,(P) “There’s a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!”(Q)
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.(R)
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.(S)
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.
17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
18 Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”
20 Without wood a fire goes out;
without a gossip a quarrel dies down.(T)
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(U)
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.(V)
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent[a] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,(W)
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.(X)
25 Though their speech is charming,(Y) do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.(Z)
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit(AA) will fall into it;(AB)
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.(AC)
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth(AD) works ruin.

Proverbs 26
King James Version
Proverbs 26
King James Version
26 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour 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 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 the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth 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 rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth 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 meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
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 hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
