Proverbs 26:1-3
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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