1 Like as snowe is not mete in sommer, ner rayne in haruest: euen so is worshipe vnsemely for a foole.

2 Like as ye byrde and the swalowe take their flight and fle here and there, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shal not light vpon a man.

3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, and a rodde to the fooles backe.

4 Geue not the foole an answere after his foolishnesse, lest thou become like vnto him:

5 but make ye foole an answere to his foolishnesse, lest he be wyse in his owne coceate.
