Proverbs 26:1-2 The Message (MSG)

1. We no more give honors to foolsthan pray for snow in summer or rain during harvest.

2. You have as little to fear from an undeserved curseas from the dart of a wren or the swoop of a swallow.

18-19. People who shrug off deliberate deceptions,saying, “I didn’t mean it, I was only joking,”Are worse than careless camperswho walk away from smoldering campfires.
