Wise Sayings About Fools

1Just as snow should not fall in summer, nor rain at harvest time, so people should not honor a fool.

2Don’t worry when someone curses you for no reason. Nothing bad will happen. Such words are like birds that fly past and never stop.

3You have to whip a horse, you have to put a bridle on a mule, and you have to beat a fool.

4There is no good way to answer fools when they say something stupid. If you answer them, then you, too, will look like a fool. If you don’t answer them, they will think they are smart.

5(26:4)

6Never let a fool carry your message. If you do, it will be like cutting off your own feet. You are only asking for trouble.

7A fool trying to say something wise is like a crippled person trying to walk.

8Showing honor to a fool is as bad as tying a rock in a sling.

9A fool trying to say something wise is like a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.

10Hiring a fool or a stranger who is just passing by is dangerous—you don’t know who might get hurt.

11Like a dog that returns to its vomit, a fool does the same foolish things again and again.

12People who think they are wise when they are not are worse than fools.

13A person who is lazy and wants to stay home says, “What if there is a lion out there? Really, there might be a lion in the street!”

14Like a door on its hinges, a lazy man turns back and forth on his bed.

15Lazy people are too lazy to lift the food from their plate to their mouth.

16Lazy people think they are seven times smarter than the people who really have good sense.

17To step between two people arguing is as foolish as going out into the street and grabbing a stray dog by the ears.

18Anyone who would trick someone and then say, “I was only joking” is like a fool who shoots flaming arrows into the air and accidentally kills someone.

19(26:18)

20Without wood, a fire goes out. Without gossip, arguments stop.

21Charcoal keeps the coals glowing, wood keeps the fire burning, and troublemakers keep arguments alive.

22People love to hear gossip. It is like tasty food on its way to the stomach.

23Good words that hide an evil heart are like silver paint over a cheap, clay pot.

24Evil people say things to make themselves look good, but they keep their evil plans a secret.

25What they say sounds good, but don’t trust them. They are full of evil ideas.

26They hide their evil plans with nice words, but in the end, everyone will see the evil they do.

27Whoever digs a pit can fall into it. Whoever rolls a large stone can be crushed by it.

28Liars hate the people they hurt, and false praise can hurt people.
