[:en]Thoughts from Proverbs 26[:]

[:en]Solomon warned us 3 kinds of people to avoid:

  1.  Fool – No amount of recognition (vs. 1), correction (v. 3), or admonition (vs. 4-5), can change him.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly or you will be like him yourself (v. 4) for his hands send violence and his mouth speaks folly (vs. 4, 6, 7-9)
  2. Sluggards – he is fond of giving excuses (v. 13).  He is too lazy to work (v. 15) and he considers himself wise in his own eyes (v. 16)
  3. Quarrelsome man – he is a meddler (v. 17), joker (vs. 18-19), gossiper (vs. 20-11) and deceiver (vs. 23-28)
