1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not fitting for a fool.
2Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.
3A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!
4Don’t answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
