Proverbs 26:1-3
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

26 Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a [self-confident] fool.(A)

2 Like the sparrow in her wandering, like the swallow in her flying, so the causeless curse does not alight.(B)

3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a [straight, slender] rod for the backs of [self-confident] fools.
