Proverbs 26:1-5 ▼

1 Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.

2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, So a curse without cause does not alight.

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

4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him.

5 Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes.
