Proverbs 26:1-5 ▼

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

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

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, Lest you yourself also be like him.

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