A whip is for the horse, a bridle is for the donkey, and a rod is for the back of fools

Fools must be disciplined by force like a horse or a donkey. Please refer to Proverbs 10:12. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)

Do not answer a fool and join in on his folly

AT: "Answer not a fool according to his folly"
