Proverbs 26:12

World English Bible

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Proverbs 26:12 in other translations

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

10As an archer who wounds all,
so is he who hires a fool
or he who hires those who pass by.
11As a dog that returns to his vomit,
so is a fool who repeats his folly.
12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion roams the streets!”
14As the door turns on its hinges,
so does the sluggard on his bed.
