2. As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, so the curse that is causeless lighteth not.

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

4. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

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

6. He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh in damage.

7. The legs of the lame hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
