26:1
Quomodo nix in aestate, et pluviae in messe, sic indecens est stulto gloria.

Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
26:2
Sicut avis ad alia transvolans, et passer quolibet vadens, sic maledictum frustra prolatum in quempiam superveniet.

Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.
26:3
Flagellum equo, et camus asino, et virga in dorso imprudentium.
