1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, so the curse that is causeless lighteth not.

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

4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
