Proverbs 26:1-5 ▼

1 Like snow in summer, like rain in harvest, honor for a fool is out of place.

2 Like the sparrow in its flitting, like the swallow in its flight, a curse uncalled-for never lands.

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

4 Do not answer fools according to their folly, lest you too become like them.

5 Answer fools according to their folly, lest they become wise in their own eyes.
