“A whip is for the horse,a bridle for the donkey,and a rod for the back of fools!”
Proverbs 26:3 (WEB)
Context Reading
1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,so honor is not fitting for a fool. 2Like a fluttering sparrow,like a darting swallow,so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest. 3A whip is for the horse,a bridle for the donkey,and a rod for the back of fools! 4Don’t answer a fool according to his folly,lest you also be like him. 5Answer a fool according to his folly,lest he be wise in his own eyes.
