You’re lousy at mind reading.

Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes. (Prov. 25:5)

[TheStickman]

St Matthew5:22

But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raqa,’ will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna.

[Elsie]

HUH??

 

 

Proverbs 25:5

remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,
    and his throne will be established through righteousness.

 

I think you meant Proverbs 26:5

 Answer a fool according to his folly,
    or he will be wise in his own eyes.

 

 

 

But what about verse 4??

⁴ Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
    or you yourself will be just like him.
