Proverbs 26:1-3

Expanded Bible

26 It shouldn’t snow in summer or rain at harvest.
Neither should a foolish person ever be honored.

² Curses ·will not harm someone who is innocent [that are undeserved never stick];
they are like ·darting [flitting] birds or flying swallows.

³ Whips are for horses, and ·harnesses [bridles] are for donkeys,
·so paddles are good for fools [^Land rods for the backs of fools].
