Proverbs 26:2 in Context — Proverbs 26
1 COMO la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, así conviene al necio la honra.
2 Como el gorrión en su vagar, y como la golondrina en su vuelo, así la maldición sin causa nunca vendrá.
3 El látigo para el caballo, y el cabestro para el asno, y la vara para la espalda del necio.
4 Nunca respondas al necio en conformidad á su necedad, para que no seas tú también como él.
