Proverbs 26:1-5 New English Translation (NET)

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

2. Like a fluttering bird or like a flying swallow,so a curse without cause does not come to rest.

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

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

5. Answer a fool according to his folly,lest he be wise in his own estimation.
