Proverbs 26:3


Proverbs 26:2 Proverbs 26:3 (KJV) Proverbs 26:4
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.
