Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 26

Proverbs 26:1
As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.

Proverbs 26:2
As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.

A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.

He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.

Proverbs 26:7
As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.

Proverbs 26:8
As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.

The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.

As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.

As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death :

So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.

Proverbs 26:20
When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.

Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.

An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.

A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
