Proverbs 26:1-3
Expanded Bible

26 It shouldn’t snow in summer or rain at harvest.
Neither should a foolish person ever be honored.

2 Curses ·will not harm someone who is innocent [that are undeserved never stick];
they are like ·darting [flitting] birds or flying swallows.

3 Whips are for horses, and ·harnesses [bridles] are for donkeys,
·so paddles are good for fools [L and rods for the backs of fools].
