As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

Verse 2 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 ein Vogel dahinfährt und eine Schwalbe fliegt, also ein unverdienter Fluch trifft nicht.
Como el gorrión en su vagar, y como la golondrina en su vuelo, Así la maldición sin causa nunca vendrá.
Comme l'oiseau s'échappe, comme l'hirondelle s'envole, Ainsi la malédiction sans cause n'a point d'effet.
Come il passero vaga, e la rondinella vola, Così la maledizione data senza cagione non avverrà
Como ao pássaro o vaguear, como à andorinha o voar, assim a maldição sem causa não virá.
詛咒不會無故臨到 , 正如麻雀掠過,燕子翻飛。
