Today's Thought - Proverbs 26 - Work Vs. Laziness.. GET TO WORK!

1 ¶ As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 ¶ As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 ¶ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 ¶ Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 ¶ He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 ¶ The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 ¶ As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 ¶ Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 ¶ The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 ¶ As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 ¶ The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 ¶ The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 ¶ He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 ¶ As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 ¶ Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 ¶ Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 ¶ He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 ¶ Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 ¶ A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
