2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a flying swallow, so an undeserved curse does not land.
3 A whip 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, else you also will be like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, else he will be wise in his own eyes.
6 Like cutting off one’s feet or drinking violence is sending a message by a fool’s hand.
7 Like a lame man’s legs that hang limp, so is a proverb in a fool’s mouth.
