"Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest."
— Proverbs 26:2, World English Bible
“As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.”
“As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not. ”
“Like a fluttering bird or like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause does not come to rest.”
“As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.”
“As the sparrow in her wandering and the swallow in her flight, so the curse does not come without a cause.”
“As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.”
Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.
A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!
Don't answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
