Similitudes and Instructions
1Seperti salju di musim panas dan hujan pada waktu panen, demikian kehormatanpun tidak layak bagi orang bebal. 2Seperti burung pipit mengirap dan burung layang-layang terbang, demikianlah kutuk tanpa alasan tidak akan kena. 3Cemeti adalah untuk kuda, kekang untuk keledai, dan pentung untuk punggung orang bebal. 4Jangan menjawab orang bebal menurut kebodohannya, supaya jangan engkau sendiri menjadi sama dengan dia. 5Jawablah orang bebal menurut kebodohannya, supaya jangan ia menganggap dirinya bijak. 6Siapa mengirim pesan dengan perantaraan orang bebal mematahkan kakinya sendiri dan meminum kecelakaan. 7Amsal di mulut orang bebal adalah seperti kaki yang terkulai dari pada orang yang lumpuh. 8Seperti orang menaruh batu di umban, demikianlah orang yang memberi hormat kepada orang bebal. 9Amsal di mulut orang bebal adalah seperti duri yang menusuk tangan pemabuk. 10Siapa mempekerjakan orang bebal dan orang-orang yang lewat adalah seperti pemanah yang melukai tiap orang. 11Seperti anjing kembali ke muntahnya, demikianlah orang bebal yang mengulangi kebodohannya. 12Jika engkau melihat orang yang menganggap dirinya bijak, harapan bagi orang bebal lebih banyak dari pada bagi orang itu. 13Berkatalah si pemalas: "Ada singa di jalan ! Ada singa di lorong !" 14Seperti pintu berputar pada engselnya, demikianlah si pemalas di tempat tidurnya. 15Si pemalas mencelupkan tangannya ke dalam pinggan, tetapi ia terlalu lelah untuk mengembalikannya ke mulutnya. 16Si pemalas menganggap dirinya lebih bijak dari pada tujuh orang yang menjawab dengan bijaksana. 17Orang yang ikut campur dalam pertengkaran orang lain adalah seperti orang yang menangkap telinga anjing yang berlalu. 18Seperti orang gila menembakkan panah api, panah dan maut, 19demikianlah orang yang memperdaya sesamanya dan berkata: "Aku hanya bersenda gurau." 20Bila kayu habis, padamlah api; bila pemfitnah tak ada, redalah pertengkaran. 21Seperti arang untuk bara menyala dan kayu untuk api, demikianlah orang yang suka bertengkar untuk panasnya perbantahan.
1Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool. 2Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
So a curse without cause does not come to rest. 3A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the back of fools. 4Do not answer a fool according to his foolishness,
Or you will also be like him. 5Answer a fool as his foolishness deserves,
So that he will not be wise in his own eyes. 6One who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Chops off his own feet and drinks violence. 7Like useless legs to one who cannot walk,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools. 8Like one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is one who gives honor to a fool. 9Like a thorn that sticks in the hand of a heavy drinker,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools. 10Like an archer who wounds everyone,
So is one who hires a fool or hires those who pass by. 11Like a dog that returns to its vomit,
So is a fool who repeats his foolishness. 12Do you see a person wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him. 13A lazy one says, “There is a lion on the road!
A lion is in the public square!” 14As the door turns on its hinges,
So does a lazy one on his bed. 15A lazy one buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again. 16A lazy one is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven people who can give a discreet answer. 17Like one who takes a dog by the ears,
So is one who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him. 18Like a maniac who shoots
Flaming arrows, arrows, and death, 19So is a person who deceives his neighbor,
And says, “Was I not joking?” 20For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no gossiper, quarreling quiets down. 21Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a contentious person to kindle strife.

22Seperti sedap-sedapan perkataan pemfitnah masuk ke lubuk hati. 23Seperti pecahan periuk bersalutkan perak, demikianlah bibir manis dengan hati jahat. 24Si pembenci berpura-pura dengan bibirnya, tetapi dalam hati dikandungnya tipu daya. 25Kalau ia ramah, janganlah percaya padanya, karena tujuh kekejian ada dalam hatinya. 26Walaupun kebenciannya diselubungi tipu daya, kejahatannya akan nyata dalam jemaah. 27Siapa menggali lobang akan jatuh ke dalamnya, dan siapa menggelindingkan batu, batu itu akan kembali menimpa dia. 28Lidah dusta membenci korbannya, dan mulut licin mendatangkan kehancuran.
22The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body. 23Like an earthenware vessel overlaid with silver impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart. 24One who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he harbors deceit in his heart. 25When he speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart. 26Though his hatred covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be revealed in the assembly. 27One who digs a pit will fall into it,
And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him. 28A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
