Proverbs 26:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ One who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Chops off his own feet and drinks violence.
⁷ Like ^[a]useless legs to one who cannot walk,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
⁸ Like ^[b]one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is one who gives honor to a fool.
