Proverbs 26:4 in Context — Proverbs 26
2 Como um pássaro a vaguear, como a andorinha a voar, assim também a maldição não virá sem causa.
3 Açoite para o cavalo, cabresto para o asno; e vara para as costas dos tolos.
4 Não respondas ao tolo conforme sua loucura; para que não te faças semelhante a ele.
5 Responde ao tolo conforme sua loucura, para que ele não seja sábio aos seus próprios olhos.
6 Quem manda mensagens pelas mãos do tolo é como quem corta os pés e bebe violência.
