4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
lest you yourself also be like him.
lest he be wise in his own estimation.
so is sending a message by the hand of a fool.
so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
so is giving honor to a fool.
so is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
so is the one who hires a fool or hires any passer-by.
so a fool repeats his folly.
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
