Berean Standard Bible
“Like snow in summer and rain at harvest, honor does not befit a fool.”
Proverbs 26 is a chapter of sharp comparisons, mostly about fools, sluggards and troublemakers. It uses humor and exaggeration to teach wisdom by contrast, and each saying invites the reader to think about how to deal wisely with difficult people.
