26:4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, 1
lest you yourself also be like him. 2
[26:4] 1 sn One should not answer a fool’s foolish questions in line with the fool’s mode of reasoning (J. H. Greenstone, Proverbs, 274).
[26:4] 2 sn The person who descends to the level of a fool to argue with him only looks like a fool as well.
