Discovery BoxProverbs 26:13-28
The slothful
<06102>
<06102>
[There is] a lion
<07826>
<07826>
in the way
<01870>_;
<01870>_;
a lion
<0738>
<0738>
[is] in the streets
<07339>_.
<07339>_.
[As] the door
<01817>
<01817>
upon his hinges
<06735>_,
<06735>_,
so [doth] the slothful
<06102>
<06102>
upon his bed
<04296>_.
<04296>_.
The slothful
<06102>
<06102>
his hand
<03027>
<03027>
in [his] bosom
<06747>_;
<06747>_;
to his mouth
<06310>_.
{it grieveth...: or, he is weary}<06310>_.
The sluggard
<06102>
<06102>
[is] wiser
<02450>
<02450>
in his own conceit
<05869>
<05869>
than seven men
<07651>
<07651>
a reason
<02940>_.
<02940>_.
Where no
<0657>
<0657>
wood
<06086>
<06086>
is, [there] the fire
<0784>
<0784>
so where [there is] no talebearer
<05372>_,
<05372>_,
the strife
<04066>
{Where no...: Heb. Without wood} {talebearer: or, whisperer} {ceaseth: Heb. is silent}<04066>
[As] coals
<06352>
<06352>
[are] to burning coals
<01513>_,
<01513>_,
and wood
<06086>
<06086>
to fire
<0784>_;
<0784>_;
man
<0376>
<0376>
strife
<07379>_.
<07379>_.
The words
<01697>
<01697>
of a talebearer
<05372>
<05372>
into the innermost parts
<02315>
<02315>
of the belly
<0990>_.
{innermost...: Heb. chambers}<0990>_.
lips
<08193>
<08193>
and a wicked
<07451>
<07451>
heart
<03820>
<03820>
[are like] a potsherd
<02789>
<02789>
with silver
<03701>
<03701>
dross
<05509>_.
<05509>_.
When he speaketh
<06963>
<06963>
him not: for [there are] seven
<07651>
<07651>
abominations
<08441>
<08441>
in his heart
<03820>_.
{speaketh...: Heb. maketh his voice gracious}<03820>_.
[Whose] hatred
<08135>
<08135>
by deceit
<04860>_,
<04860>_,
his wickedness
<07451>
<07451>
before the [whole] congregation
<06951>_.
{by...: or, in secret}<06951>_.
