English Standard Version

Proverbs 26:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,so honor is not fitting for a fool.

2. Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight.

3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,and a rod for the back of fools.

4. Answer not a fool according to his folly,lest you be like him yourself.
