Proverbs 26:1 – This is a deep chapter.
GNB says
Proverbs 26:2 Curses cannot hurt you unless you deserve them. They are like birds that fly by and never light.
and MKJV says
Proverbs 26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause shall not come.
Birds wander looking for food on the ground and swallows fly around catching and eating flying insects.
