Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Proverbs 26
⁷ Like the legs of the lame that hang limp Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
⁸ Like one who binds a stone in a sling Is he who gives honor to a fool.
⁹ Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
¹⁰ The great God who formed everything Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.
¹¹ As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.
¹² Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
¹³ The lazy man says, "There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!"
¹⁴ As a door turns on its hinges, So does the lazy man on his bed.
¹⁵ The lazy man buries his hand in the bowl; It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
¹⁶ The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer sensibly.
¹⁷ He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.
