Proverbs 26:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

PROVERBS CHAPTER 26 Rules how to carry it towards fools, Proverbs 26:1-12. The slothful man described, Proverbs 26:13-16. The character of a contentious man, and of a busybody, and tale-bearer, Proverbs 26:17-23. The evil of hypocrisy and lying, Proverbs 26:24-28. As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest; unbecoming and unseasonable. So honour is not seemly for a fool, because he neither deserves it, nor knows how to use it, but his folly is both increased and publicly manifested by it.

Proverbs 26:1

1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
