1 In the manner of snow in the summer, and rain at the harvest, so also is glory unfit for the foolish.

2 Like a bird flying away to another place, and like a sparrow that hurries away freely, so also a curse uttered against someone without cause will pass away.

3 A whip is for a horse, and a muzzle is for donkey, and a rod is for the back of the imprudent.

4 Do not respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest you become like him.

5 Respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
