As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
KJV
Quomodo nix in æstate, et pluviæ in messe, sic indecens est stulto gloria.

ὥσπερ δρόσος ἐν ἀμήτῳ καὶ ὥσπερ ὑετὸς ἐν θέρει, οὕτως οὐκ ἔστιν ἄφρονι τιμή.
LXX
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.
