Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honour is not fitting for a fool. This is how Solomon's wisdom sayings start in Proverbs 26. They continue: Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse doesn't come to rest... like cutting off one's feet is the sending of a message with a fool... as a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly... as a door turns on its hinges so a sluggard turns on his bed... like one who seizes a dog by its ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own... without wood a fire goes out and without gossip a quarrel dies down.
