What does Proverbs 26:1-9 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.a
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.b
The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
As he that bindethc a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
