Proverbs 26:4 “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.” You and I are to be wise in all our conversation.  To follow a fool’s conversation would be just the opposite and would profit no one.  This Proverb is the same as all the other Proverbs which ask the underlying question—who do you and I represent in all we do?  There should never be a gap in our character or representation.
