Proverbs 26:2

World English Bible (WEB)

Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

In context

1 Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

2 Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!

4 Don’t answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
