Question: Would you please explain Proverbs 26:4, 5. Verse Four reads, "ANSWER NOT a fool according to his folly." Yet, the very next verse tells us, "ANSWER a fool according to his folly." Answer: Actually, these two verses are not contradictory - BUT COMPLEMENTARY! The use of either verse - that is, its principle applied to a particular use - depends on the set of circumstances. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
