Proverbs 26:6-9

6Sending a message by the hands of a fool is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.

7Like the useless legs of one who is lame is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

8Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.

9Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
