Proverbs 26:1-3
New Living Translation

26 Honor is no more associated with fools
    than snow with summer or rain with harvest.

2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
    an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.

3 Guide a horse with a whip, a donkey with a bridle,
    and a fool with a rod to his back!
