Proverbs 26:1-4 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Like snow in summer and rain at harvest, honor is inappropriate for a fool.

2. Like a flitting sparrow or a fluttering swallow, an undeserved curse goes nowhere.

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

4. Don’t answer a fool according to his foolishness or you’ll be like him yourself.
