Proverbs Commentary

The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
