Lexicon :: Strong's H3684 - kᵊsîl

“For the faithlessness ^H4878 of the naive ^H6612 will kill ^H2026 them,

And the complacency ^H7962 of fools ^H3684 will destroy ^H6 them.

One who conceals ^H3680 hatred ^H8135 has lying ^H8267 lips ^H8193,

And one who spreads ^H3318 slander ^H1681 is a fool ^H3684.

Doing ^H6213 wickedness ^H2154 is like sport ^H7814 to a fool ^H3684,

And so is wisdom ^H2451 to a person ^H376 of understanding ^H8394.

Desire ^H8378 realized ^H1961 is sweet ^H6149 to the soul ^H5315,

But it is an abomination ^H8441 to fools ^H3684 to turn ^H5493 away ^H5493 from evil ^H7451.

One who walks ^H1980 with wise ^H2450 people ^H2450 will be ^H2449 wise ^H2449,

But a companion ^H7462 of fools ^H3684 will suffer ^H7489 harm ^H7489.

The wisdom ^H2451 of the sensible ^H6175 is to understand ^H995 his way ^H1870,

But the foolishness ^H200 of fools ^H3684 is deceit ^H4820.

A wise ^H2450 person ^H2450 [fn]is cautious ^H3372 and turns ^H5493 away ^H5493 from evil ^H7451,

But a fool ^H3684 is ^H5674 arrogant ^H5674 and careless ^H982.

The crown ^H5850 of the wise ^H2450 is their riches ^H6239,

But the foolishness ^H200 of fools ^H3684 is simply foolishness ^H200.

Wisdom ^H2451 rests ^H5117 in the heart ^H3820 of one who has ^H995 understanding ^H995,

But among ^H7130 fools ^H3684 it is made ^H3045 known ^H3045.

The lips ^H8193 of the wise ^H2450 spread ^H2219 knowledge ^H1847,

But the hearts ^H3820 of fools ^H3684 are not so ^H3651.

The mind ^H3820 of the intelligent ^H995 seeks ^H1245 knowledge ^H1847,

But the mouth ^H6310 of fools ^H3684 feeds ^H7462 on foolishness ^H200.

A wise ^H2450 son ^H1121 makes ^H8055 a father ^H1 glad ^H8055,

But a foolish ^H3684 man ^H120 despises ^H959 his mother ^H517.

Let a person ^H376 meet ^H6298 a bear ^H1677 robbed ^H7909 of ^H7909 her cubs ^H7909,

Rather ^H408 than a fool ^H3684 in his foolishness ^H200.

Why ^H4100 H2088 is there money ^H4242 in the hand ^H3027 of a fool ^H3684 to buy ^H7069 wisdom ^H2451,

When [fn]he has ^H369 no ^H369 sense ^H3820?

He who fathers ^H3205 a fool ^H3684 does so to his sorrow ^H8424,

And the father ^H1 of a fool ^H5036 has ^H8055 no ^H3808 joy ^H8055.

Wisdom ^H2451 is in the presence ^H6440 of one who has ^H995 understanding ^H995,

But the eyes ^H5869 of a fool ^H3684 are on the ends ^H7097 of the earth ^H776.

A foolish ^H3684 son ^H1121 is a grief ^H3708 to his father ^H1,

And bitterness ^H4470 to her who gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to him.

A fool’s ^H3684 lips ^H8193 [fn]bring ^H935 strife ^H7379,

And his mouth ^H6310 invites ^H7121 beatings ^H4112.

A fool’s ^H3684 mouth ^H6310 is his ruin ^H4288,

And his lips ^H8193 are the snare ^H4170 of his soul ^H5315.

Luxury ^H8588 is not fitting ^H5000 for a fool ^H3684;

Much ^H637 H3588 less ^H637 for a slave ^H5650 to rule ^H4910 over princes ^H8269.

A foolish ^H3684 son ^H1121 is destruction ^H1942 to his father ^H1,

And the quarrels ^H4066 of a wife ^H802 are a constant ^H2956 dripping ^H1812.

[fn]Judgments ^H8201 are prepared ^H3559 for scoffers ^H3887,

And beatings ^H4112 for the backs ^H1460 of fools ^H3684.

A whip ^H7752 is for the horse ^H5483, a bridle ^H4964 for the donkey ^H2543,

And a rod ^H7626 for the back ^H1460 of fools ^H3684.

Do not answer ^H6030 a fool ^H3684 [fn]according to his foolishness ^H200,

Or ^H6435 you will also ^H1571 be ^H7737 like ^H7737 him.

Answer ^H6030 a fool ^H3684 as his foolishness ^H200 deserves,

So ^H6435 that ^H6435 he will not ^H6435 be wise ^H2450 in his own eyes ^H5869.

One who sends ^H7971 a message ^H1697 by the hand ^H3027 of a fool ^H3684

Chops ^H7096 off ^H7096 his own feet ^H7272 and drinks ^H8354 violence ^H2555.

Like [fn]useless ^H1802 legs ^H7785 to one who cannot ^H6455 walk ^H6455,

So is a proverb ^H4912 in the mouths ^H6310 of fools ^H3684.

Like [fn]one who binds ^H6887 a stone ^H68 in a sling ^H4773,

So ^H3651 is one who gives ^H5414 honor ^H3519 to a fool ^H3684.

Like a thorn ^H2336 that [fn]sticks ^H5927 in the hand ^H3027 of a heavy ^H7910 drinker ^H7910,

So is a proverb ^H4912 in the mouths ^H6310 of fools ^H3684.

[fn]Like an archer ^H7228 who wounds ^H2342 everyone ^H3605,

So is one who hires ^H7936 a fool ^H3684 or hires ^H7936 those who pass ^H5674 by ^H5674.

Like a dog ^H3611 that returns ^H7725 to its vomit ^H6892,

So is a fool ^H3684 who repeats ^H8138 [fn]his foolishness ^H200.

Do you see ^H7200 a person ^H376 wise ^H2450 in his own eyes ^H5869?

There is more ^H4480 hope ^H8615 for a fool ^H3684 than ^H4480 for him.
