Proverbs 26:1-3

New Life Version

26 Like snow in summer and like rain at gathering time, so honor is not right for a fool.

² Like a sparrow in its traveling, like a swallow in its flying, so bad words said against someone without reason do not come to rest.

³ A whip is for the horse, leather ropes are for the donkey, and a stick is for the back of fools.
