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.
8He that binds up a stone in a sling, is like one that gives glory to a fool.
Proverbs 26
