Proverbs 26:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Sending a message by a foolish person
is like cutting off your feet or drinking ·poison [^Lviolence].

⁷ A ·wise saying spoken by [^Lproverb in the mouth of] a fool
·is as useless as [^Ldangles like] the legs of a crippled person.

⁸ Giving honor to a foolish person
is like ·tying a stone [^La bag of stones] in a slingshot.
