6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and ¹drinks violence.

7 Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling is ²one who gives honor to a fool.

9 Like ³a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

10 Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.^a

11 Like ⁴a dog that returns to his vomit is ⁵a fool who repeats his folly.

12 Do you see a man who is ⁶wise in his own eyes? ⁷There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13 ⁸The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!"

14 As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.

15 ⁹The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.

16 The sluggard is ¹⁰wiser in his own eyes ¹¹than seven men who can answer sensibly.

17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.

18 Like a madman who throws ¹²firebrands, arrows, and death

19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"

20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no ¹³whisperer, ¹⁴quarreling ceases.

21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is ¹⁵a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.

22 ¹⁶The words of ¹⁷a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.

23 ¹⁸Like the ¹⁹glaze^b covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.

24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;

25 ²⁰when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are ²¹seven abominations in his heart;

26 though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

Provérbios 26:6 Os pés decepa, e o dano bebe, quem manda mensagens pela mão dum tolo.

Proverbs 26:6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

Proverbs 26:6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

Provérbios 26:6 Como cortar o próprio pé ou beber veneno,assim é enviar mensagem pelas mãos do tolo.
