Proverbs 26

Verses 4 and 5 of Proverb 26 carry a similar subject but seem miles apart. They are the two faces of the same coin. They are a guide in dealing with foolish talk. On one hand the unnoticed ranting of a fool should be ignored. There are times when a wise argument on a foolish subject will diminish the presentation of the wiser person. The other side of the coin is that sometimes the words of the fool are tweeted to the world. It is in those times that a discerning person will seek a way to respond that exposes the complete ignorance of the foolish arguments. Knowing the difference between each side of the coin is a gift from God.
