1 Honor is no more associated with foolsthan snow with summer or rain with harvest.
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.
3 Guide a horse with a whip, a donkey with a bridle,and a fool with a rod to his back!
4 Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools,or you will become as foolish as they are.
5 Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools,or they will become wise in their own estimation.
