Proverbs 26:1-3

International Children’s 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.
    They are like sparrows or swallows that fly around and never land.

³ A whip is used to guide a horse, and a harness is used for a donkey.
    In the same way, a paddle is used on a foolish person to guide him.
