Proverbs 26:1-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

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

2. As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying,so the curse without cause will not alight.

3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,and a rod for the fool’s back.

4. Do not answer a fool according to his folly,lest you also be like unto him.

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

6. He who sends a message by the hand of a foolcuts off the feet and drinks violence.
