Proverbs 26:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³ Beating be to an horse, and a bridle to an ass; and a rod to the back of unprudent men.

⁴ Answer thou not to a fool after his folly, lest thou be made like him.

⁵ Answer thou (to) a fool after his folly, lest he seem to himself to be wise (lest he thinketh himself to be wise).
