Proverbs
Chapters 26:1-6
New International Version Anglicized
1Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,honour is not fitting for a fool.
2Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,and a rod for the backs of fools!
4Do not answer a fool according to his folly,or you yourself will be just like him.
5Answer a fool according to his folly,or he will be wise in his own eyes.
6Sending a message by the hands of a foolis like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.
