1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honour is not seemly for a fool. 2 As the wandering sparrow, as the flying swallow, So the curse that is causeless shall come home. 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 eyes. Proverbs 26:1-5, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
