Par ▾

1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honour [is] not comely for a fool.

2 As a bird by wandering, as a swallow by flying, So reviling without cause doth not come.

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

4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou be like to him—even thou.

5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
