    Contributed by John Dixon on Jul 20, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,376 views

    PROVERBS 26:1-28 (NASB) Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool. 2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, So a curse without cause does not alight. 3 A whip is for the horse, a ...read more
