Proverbs
Chapters 26:2-8
New International Version Anglicized
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.
7Like the useless legs of one who is lameis a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
8Like tying a stone in a slingis the giving of honour to a fool.
