4Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou become like him.
5Yet answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he seem wise in his own conceit.
6He that sends a message by a foolish messenger Procures for himself a reproach from his own ways.
7As well take away the motion of the legs, As transgression from the mouth of fools.
Proverbs 26
