| 1 | Lyke as snowe is not meete in sommer and rayne in haruest: euen so is worship vnseemely for a foole. | Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool. | Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool. | |
| 2 | As the byrde and the swalowe take their flight and flee here and there: so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shall not light vpon a man. | Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight. | Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest. | |
| 3 | Unto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a brydle: and a rod to the fooles backe. | A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. | A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! | |
| 4 | Geue not the foole an aunswere after his foolishnes, lest thou become like vnto him. | Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. | Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. | |
| 5 | But make the foole an aunswere to his foolishnesse, lest he be wyse in his owne conceipt. | Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. | Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes. | |
