As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.

夏天落雪，收割时下雨，都不相宜；愚昧人得尊荣也是如此。

愚昧人得尊荣不相宜，正如夏天落雪，收割时下雨。

愚昧人得尊荣不相宜，正如夏天落雪，收割时下雨。

愚人得尊荣本不合宜，如夏天降雪、收割时下雨。

就像夏天落雪，收割时下雨，愚昧人得尊荣也不合宜。

就像夏天落雪，收割時下雨，愚昧人得尊榮也不合宜。

蠢者得榮非宜、如夏時雨雪、如穡時下雨、

夏時雨雪、穡時降雨、皆非所宜、愚者得榮亦若是、

The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking like servants upon the earth.

As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.

The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

Excellent speech becometh not a fool; Much less do lying lips a prince.

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endureth continually.

And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.

Is it not wheat harvest to- day? I will call unto Jehovah, that he may send thunder and rain; and ye shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah, in asking you a king.So Samuel called unto Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.

Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren;and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king’s gate.

And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence.Then the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.Then were the king’s scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king’s satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king’s ring.And letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.The posts went forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.

but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.
