Proverbs 26:1-3
The Message

Fools Recycle Silliness

26 We no more give honors to fools
    than pray for snow in summer or rain during harvest.

2 You have as little to fear from an undeserved curse
    as from the dart of a wren or the swoop of a swallow.

3 A whip for the racehorse, a tiller for the sailboat—
    and a stick for the back of fools!
