Proverbs 26:3

3 A whip for a horse, a bridle for a donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.

Proverbs 26:3 In-Context

1 Like snow in the summer or rain at harvest, so honor isn't appropriate for a fool.
2 Like a darting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so an undeserved curse never arrives.
3 A whip for a horse, a bridle for a donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Don't answer fools according to their folly, or you will become like them yourself.
5 Answer fools according to their folly, or they will deem themselves wise.
