- Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
- Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

- Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him.
- Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes.
