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

Verse 1 is found in chapter 26 of Proverbs. The chapter gathers proverbs about the fool and explains when his words deserve an answer and when answering merely reproduces his folly. The whip, bridle, and stone illustrate that some fools seem incapable of learning. The paradox requires discernment: some statements must be corrected so they do not go unanswered, while others should not drag the wise person down to the same level of foolishness.

Wie der Schnee im Sommer und Regen in der Ernte, also reimt sich dem Narren die Ehre nicht.
Como la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, Así conviene al necio la honra.
Como la nieve en verano y la lluvia en la cosecha, así de impropio es el honor para el necio.
Comme la neige en été, et la pluie pendant la moisson, Ainsi la gloire ne convient pas à un insensé.
Come la neve non si conviene alla state, Nè la pioggia al tempo della ricolta, Così la gloria non si conviene allo stolto
COMO a neve no verão, e como a chuva na sega, assim não fica bem para o tolo a honra.
愚昧人得尊榮不相宜, 正如夏天落雪,收割時下雨。
