1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.

2As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.

3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.

4Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou also be like unto him.

5Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.
