Proverbs 26:1-5 ▼

1 Like snowfall in summer or rain at harvest time, so honor is inappropriate for a fool.

2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a swallow in flight, a curse without cause will not alight.

3 A whip is for the horses, a bridle is for the donkey, a rod is for the back of fools.

4 Don't answer a fool according to his foolishness, or you will be just like him.

5 Answer a fool according to his foolishness, or he will think himself to be wise.
