Proverbs 26:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Like snow in the summer or rain at harvest,so honor isn’t appropriate for a fool.

2. Like a darting sparrow, like a flying swallow,so an undeserved curse never arrives.

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

4. Don’t answer fools according to their folly,or you will become like them yourself.

5. Answer fools according to their folly,or they will deem themselves wise.
