Proverbs 26:1-5 ▼

1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, || So honor [is] not fitting for a fool.

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

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

4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, || Lest you are like to him—even you.

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