Proverbs 26:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Don’t give a foolish person a foolish answer.
    If you do, you will be just like him.

⁵ But answer a foolish person as he should be answered.
    If you don’t, he will think he is really wise.

⁶ Don’t send a message by a foolish person.
    That would be like cutting off your feet or drinking poison.
