Proverbs 26:3-5 Good News Bible (GNB)

3. You have to whip a horse, you have to bridle a donkey, and you have to beat a fool.

4. If you answer a silly question, you are just as silly as the person who asked it.

5. Give a silly answer to a silly question, and the one who asked it will realize that he's not as clever as he thinks.
