Proverbs 26:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a swallow in flight,
an undeserved curse will never reach home.
3 Use a whip for a horse, a bridle for a donkey,
and a stick for the back of fools.[a]
4 [b]Do not reply to a fool in the terms of his folly
or you yourself may become a fool like him.
Footnotes
- Proverbs 26:3 A stick for the back of fools: see Prov 14:3; 19:29.
- Proverbs 26:4 These are two deliberately contradictory sayings, signifying: do not pay attention to the words of a fool or else make him realize his folly, depending on the case.

Притчи 26:2-4
1940 Bulgarian Bible
2 Както врабче в скитането си, както ластовица в летенето си, Така и проклетия не постига без причина.
3 Бич за коня, юзда за осела И тояга за гърба на безумните.
4 Не отговаряй на безумния според безумието му, Да не би да станеш и ти подобен нему.

Proverbes 26:2-4
Segond 21
2 De même que l'oiseau s'échappe, que l'hirondelle s'envole,
de même maudire sans raison n'a pas d'effet.
3 Le fouet est pour le cheval, le mors pour l'âne
et le bâton pour le dos des hommes stupides.
4 Ne réponds pas à un homme stupide suivant sa folie,
si tu ne veux pas lui ressembler toi-même!
