1 Like snow in the summer or rain at harvest,so honor isn’t appropriate for a fool.
2 Like a darting sparrow, like a flying swallow,so an undeserved curse never arrives.
3 A whip for a horse, a bridle for a donkey,and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Don’t answer fools according to their folly,or you will become like them yourself.
5 Answer fools according to their folly,or they will deem themselves wise.
6 Sending messages with a foolis like cutting off one’s feet or drinking down violence.
7 As legs dangle from a disabled person,so does a proverb in the mouth of fools.
