절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Don't Be a Fool Expecting snow in summer and rain in the dry season makes more sense than honoring a fool.	As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2	A curse you don't deserve will take wings and fly away like a sparrow or a swallow.	As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3	Horses and donkeys must be beaten and bridled— and so must fools.	A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
4	Don't make a fool of yourself by answering a fool.	Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5	But if you answer any fools, show how foolish they are, so they won't feel smart.	Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6	Sending a message by a fool is like chopping off your foot just to spite yourself.	He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7	A fool with words of wisdom is like an athlete with legs that can't move.	The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8	Are you going to honor a fool? Why not shoot a slingshot with the rock tied tight?	As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9	A thornbush waved around in the hand of a drunkard is no worse than a proverb in the mouth of a fool.	As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10	It's no smarter to shoot arrows at every passerby than it is to hire a bunch of worthless nobodies.	The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11	Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness.	As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12	There is more hope for a fool than for someone who says, “I'm really smart!”	Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13	Don't be lazy and keep saying, “There's a lion outside!”	The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14	A door turns on its hinges, but a lazy person just turns over in bed.	As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15	Some of us are so lazy that we won't lift a hand to feed ourselves.	The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16	A lazy person says, “I am smarter than everyone else.”	The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17	It's better to take hold of a mad dog by the ears than to take part in someone else's argument.	He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18	It's no crazier to shoot sharp and flaming arrows	As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19	than to cheat someone and say, “I was only fooling!”	So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20	Where there is no fuel a fire goes out; where there is no gossip arguments come to an end.	Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21	Troublemakers start trouble, just as sparks and fuel start a fire.	As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22	There is nothing so delicious as the taste of gossip! It melts in your mouth.	The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23	Hiding hateful thoughts behind smooth talk is like coating a clay pot with a cheap glaze.	Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24	The pleasant talk of an enemy hides more evil plans	He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25	than can be counted— so don't believe a word!	When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26	Everyone will see through those evil plans.	Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27	If you dig a pit, you will fall in; if you start a stone rolling, it will roll back on you.	Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28	Watch out for anyone who tells lies and flatters— they are out to get you.	A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
