Proverbs 26:2-4

World English Bible

² Like a fluttering sparrow,
    like a darting swallow,
    so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.
³ A whip is for the horse,
    a bridle for the donkey,
    and a rod for the back of fools!
⁴ Don’t answer a fool according to his folly,
    lest you also be like him.
