1 Lyke as snowe is not meete in sommer and rayne in haruest: euen so is worship vnseemely for a foole.

2 As the byrde and the swalowe take their flight and flee here and there: so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shall not light vpon a man.

3 Unto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a brydle: and a rod to the fooles backe.

4 Geue not the foole an aunswere after his foolishnes, lest thou become like vnto him.

5 But make the foole an aunswere to his foolishnesse, lest he be wyse in his owne conceipt.
