Proverbs 26:1-3
Contemporary English Version

Don't Be a Fool

26 Expecting snow in summer
    and rain in the dry season
makes more sense
    than honoring a fool.
2 A curse you don't deserve
will take wings and fly away
    like a sparrow or a swallow.
3 Horses and donkeys
must be beaten and bridled—
    and so must fools.
