Proverbs 26:16

Easy To Read Version

A lazy person thinks he is very wise. He thinks he is smarter than seven men that can give good reasons for their ideas.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish person always thinks his own way is best. But a wise person listens to the things other people tell him.

A person who thinks he is wise when he is not is worse than a fool.

My son, be wise. This will make me happy. Then I will be able to answer any person that criticizes me.

Lazy person, you should become like the ant. See what the ant does. Learn from the ant.

But you should keep the Lord Christ holy in your hearts. Always be ready to answer every person who asks you to explain about the hope you have.
