1Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,

honor is not fitting for a fool.

1Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest,

So honor is not fitting for a fool.

1Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest,

So honor is not fitting for a [shortsighted] fool. [Is 32:6]

1Like snow in summer and rain at harvest,

honor does not befit a fool.

1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,

So honor is not seemly for a fool.

1As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole.

1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,

so honor is not fitting for a fool.

1It isn’t proper to honor a foolish person.

That’s like having snow in summer or rain at harvest time.

1It is not right to give honour to a fool.

It is as silly as snow that falls in summer,

or rain that falls at the time of harvest.

1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, || So honor [is] not fitting for a fool.
