“Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes” (Prov 25:4-5).

You might meet a fool today, so note this: The first is a warning against our style—not answering in a similarly foolish way. The second refers to substance—refute his folly with heaven’s wisdom.
