Proverbs 26:2-4

Amplified Bible

² 
Like the sparrow in her wandering, like the swallow in her flying,
So the curse without cause does not come and alight [on the undeserving].^(A)
3 
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the backs of fools [who refuse to learn].
⁴ 
Do not answer [nor pretend to agree with the frivolous comments of] a [closed-minded] fool according to his folly,
Otherwise you, even you, will be like him.
