Proverbs 26:1-3
English Standard Version

26 Like snow in summer or (A)rain in harvest,
    so (B)honor is (C)not fitting for a fool.
2 Like (D)a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
    (E)a curse that is causeless does not alight.
3 (F)A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
    and (G)a rod for the back of fools.
