Proverbios 26:4 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 26:4

Answer not a fool according to his folly
Sometimes a fool, or wicked man, is not to be answered at all; as the ministers of Hezekiah answered not a word to Rabshakeh; nor Jeremiah the prophet to Hananiah; nor Christ to the Scribes and Pharisees; and when an answer is returned, it should not be in his foolish way and manner, rendering evil for evil, and railing for railing, in the same virulent, lying, calumniating, and reproachful language; lest thou also be like unto him;
lest thou also, who art a man of understanding and sense, and hast passed for one among men, come under the same imputation, and be reckoned a fool like him.

2 Como gorrión que revolotea o golondrina que vuela sin rumbo,
la maldición inmerecida no llegará a quien iba dirigida.
3 Guía al caballo con el látigo, al burro con el freno,
¡y al necio con la vara en la espalda!
4 No respondas a los argumentos absurdos de los necios
o te volverás tan necio como ellos.
5 Responde a los argumentos absurdos de los necios
o se creerán sabios en su propia opinión.
6 Confiarle a un necio que lleve un mensaje,
¡es como cortarse los pies o tomar veneno!
