Mistari Maarufu ya Biblia kutoka Proverbs 26

Shirikisha

Do not respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest you become like him. Respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.

Like a dog that returns to his vomit, so also is the imprudent who repeats his foolishness.

When the wood fails, the fire will be extinguished. And when the gossiper is taken away, conflicts will be quelled.

Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. And whoever rolls a stone, it will roll back to him.

Have you seen a man who seems wise to himself? There will be greater hope held for the unwise than for him.

Just like one who takes hold of a dog by the ears, so also is he who crosses impatiently and meddles in the quarrels of another.
