If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “Honor is not suitable for a stupid one, like the snow in the summer and like the rain in the harvest”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

כַּ⁠שֶּׁ֤לֶג ׀ בַּ⁠קַּ֗יִץ וְ⁠כַ⁠מָּטָ֥ר בַּ⁠קָּצִ֑יר & לִ⁠כְסִ֣יל

like_the,snow in/on/at/with,summer and,like_the,rain in/on/at/with,harvest & for,fool

Here, the snow, the summer, the rain, the harvest, and a stupid one, refer to these things and type of people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated a stupid one in 10:18. Alternate translation: “Like any snow in any summer and like any rain in any harvest … for any stupid person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠שֶּׁ֤לֶג ׀ בַּ⁠קַּ֗יִץ וְ⁠כַ⁠מָּטָ֥ר בַּ⁠קָּצִ֑יר

like_the,snow in/on/at/with,summer and,like_the,rain in/on/at/with,harvest

The words Like and so in this verse indicate that Solomon is comparing snow in the summer and rain in the harvest with honor for a stupid one. The point is that all three of these are not suitable or inappropriate. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this more explicit. Alternate translation: “Just as the snow in the summer or the rain in the harvest are not suitable”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כָּבֽוֹד

honour

See how you translated the abstract noun honor in 3:16.
