Proverbs 26:1-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. Like snow in summertime and rain at harvest time,so honor is not right for a fool.

2. Like a fluttering sparrow,like a darting swallow,so a hastily spoken curse does not come to rest.

3. A whip is for the horse,a bridle is for the donkey,and a rod is for the backs of fools.

4. Do not answer a fool with his own stupidity,or you will be like him.

5. Answer a fool with his own stupidity,or he will think he is wise.

6. Whoever uses a fool to send a messagecuts off his own feet and brings violence upon himself.

7. ⌊Like⌋ a lame person’s limp legs,so is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
