Proverbs 26 ©
Various maxims and observations of Solomon, collected by the men of Hezekiah, about kings, and other subjects of both private and public concern.
fAnswer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
gAnswer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in 1his own *conceit.
As ka thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
As a mad man who casteth 9firebrands, arrows, and death,
He that hateth 14dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
Whose 16hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
