1Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so a fool does not deserve honor.
2As the sparrow flitters and the swallow darts when they fly, so an undeserved curse does not alight.
3A whip is for the horse, a bridle is for the donkey and a rod is for the back of fools.
4Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will become like him.
5Answer a fool and join in on his folly, so he will not become wise in his own eyes.
6Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7Like the legs of a paralytic which hang down is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8Like tying a stone in a sling is giving honor to a fool.
9Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10Like an archer who wounds all those around him is one who hires a fool or hires anyone who passes by.
11As a dog returns to his own vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.
12Do you see someone who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
