1 As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
1 COMO la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, así conviene al necio la honra.
1 Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
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.

2 Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.
3 A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
3 El látigo para el caballo, y el cabestro para el asno, y la vara para la espalda del necio.
3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
4 Nunca respondas al necio en conformidad á su necedad, para que no seas tú también como él.
4 Don’t answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.

6 He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
6 Como el que se corta los pies y bebe su daño, así es el que envía algo por mano de un necio.
6 One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
7 As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
7 Alzar las piernas del cojo, así es el proverbio en la boca del necio.
7 Like the legs of the lame that hang loose, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8 Como quien liga la piedra en la honda, así [hace] el que al necio da honra.
8 As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9 Espinas hincadas en mano del embriagado, tal es el proverbio en la boca de los necios.
9 Like a thorn bush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
10 El grande cría todas las cosas; y da la paga al insensato, y la da á los transgresores.
10 As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.
11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
11 Como perro que vuelve á su vómito, así el necio que repite su necedad.

12 Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
12 ¿Has visto hombre sabio en su opinión? más esperanza hay del necio que de él.

13 The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
13 Dice el perezoso: El león está en el camino; el león está en las calles.
13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”
14 As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
14 Las puertas se revuelven en sus quicios: así el perezoso en su cama.

15 Esconde el perezoso su mano en el seno; cánsase de tornarla á su boca.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

16 A su ver es el perezoso más sabio que siete que [le] den consejo.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
17 As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.

18 Como el que enloquece, y echa llamas y saetas y muerte,
