Proverbs 26:5-7
Living Bible

4-5 When arguing with a rebel, don’t use foolish arguments as he does, or you will become as foolish as he is! Prick his conceit with silly replies![a]

6 To trust a rebel to convey a message is as foolish as cutting off your feet and drinking poison!

7 In the mouth of a fool a proverb becomes as useless as a paralyzed leg.
