PROVERBS – The Way of a Fool by Bro H

Verse 1 – The Fool and Honor (vv.1–12) Like snow in summer Like rain in harvest Honor does not fit a fool Like a thorn in a drunkard’s hand Is a proverb In the mouth of fools He who sends a message By the hand of a fool Cuts off his own feet And drinks violence As a dog returns to his vomit So a fool returns to his folly Chorus Returns again Returns again To the same old ground Pride won’t bow Won’t bend Won’t turn around As a dog returns to his vomit So a fool returns to his folly Verse 2 – The Sluggard (vv.13–16) The lazy says, “There’s a lion in the road — A lion in the streets.” As a door turns on its hinges So the lazy turns in his bed He buries his hand in the bowl Too weary to bring it back Wiser in his own eyes Than seven who answer rightly Chorus Returns again Returns again To the same old ground Pride won’t bow Won’t bend Won’t turn around Verse 3 – The Meddler & the Madman (vv.17–19) He who passes by And meddles in a quarrel Not his own Is like one who grabs A dog by the ears Like a madman Throwing firebrands Arrows and death So is the man who deceives his neighbor And says, “I was only joking.” Verse 4 – Strife & Hidden Hatred (vv.20–28) Where there is no wood The fire goes out Where there is no whisperer Strife dies down The words of a talebearer Go down deep Burning lips And a wicked heart Are like silver glaze On broken clay He digs a pit And falls into it He rolls a stone It rolls back on him A lying tongue hates Those it crushes And a flattering mouth Works ruin Final Chorus As a dog returns to his vomit So a fool returns to his folly Snow in summer Rain in harvest Honor on a fool Returns again Returns again Until the neck finally breaks
