Proverbs 26:3-7

A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools.

Do not answer a fool according to his foolishness, Or you will also be like him.

Answer a fool as his foolishness deserves, So that he will not be wise in his own eyes.

One who sends a message by the hand of a fool Chops off his own feet and drinks violence.

Like useless legs to one who cannot walk, So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
