In context
1 As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole.
2 As the sparowe by flying, and the swallow by flying escape, so the curse that is causeles, shall not come.
3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a bridle, and a rod to the fooles backe.
4 Answer not a foole according to his foolishnes, least thou also be like him.
5 Answere a foole according to his foolishnes, least he be wise in his owne conceite.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, is as he that cutteth off the feete, and drinketh iniquitie.
