1. As snow in summer and rain in harvest,So honor is not fitting for a fool.
2. Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow,So a curse without cause shall not alight.
3. A whip for the horse,A bridle for the donkey,And a rod for the fool’s back.
4. Do not answer a fool according to his folly,Lest you also be like him.
5. Answer a fool according to his folly,Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6. He who sends a message by the hand of a foolCuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7. Like the legs of the lame that hang limpIs a proverb in the mouth of fools.
