Proverbs 26:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Like the sparrow in her wandering, like the swallow in her flying, so the causeless curse does not alight.^(A)

³ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a [straight, slender] rod for the backs of [self-confident] fools.

⁴ Answer not a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
