Proverbs 26:1

Proverbs 26:1 New International Version (NIV)

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool.

We no more give honors to fools than pray for snow in summer or rain during harvest.

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honour is not seemly for a fool.

Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.

It shouldn’t snow in summer or rain at harvest. Neither should a foolish person ever be honored.

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.

As snow in summer and rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.

Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a [shortsighted] fool. [Is 32:6]

Honor is no more associated with fools than snow with summer or rain with harvest.

It is totally out of place to promote and honor a fool, just like it’s out of place to have snow in the summer and rain at harvest time.

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
