Mishle 26:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ The legs of the pisei’ach (lame man) hang limp; so is a mashal in the peh (mouth) of kesilim.

⁸ As he that bindeth an even (stone) in a sling, so is he that giveth kavod to a kesil (fool).

⁹ As a thornbush goeth up into the yad of a shikkor, so is a mashal in the peh (mouth) of kesilim.
