Proverbs 26:1-5 ▼

1 Like snow in summer and rain at harvest, honor is inappropriate for a fool.

2 Like a flitting sparrow or a fluttering swallow, an undeserved curse goes nowhere.

3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools.

4 Don’t answer a fool according to his foolishness or you’ll be like him yourself.

5 Answer a fool according to his foolishness or he’ll become wise in his own eyes.
