Proverbs 26:2-4

American Standard Version

² As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying,
So the curse that is causeless ^[a]alighteth not.
³ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass,
And a rod for the back of fools.
⁴ Answer not a fool according to his folly,
Lest thou also be like unto him.
