Proverbs 26:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ A lame person cannot use his legs properly.
    A fool cannot use a proverb properly.
⁸ If you tie a stone into a sling, it will be a useless weapon.
    It is also useless to give honour to a fool.
⁹ A fool who speaks a proverb is like a drunk person with a thorn in his finger.
    He does not know what to do with it.
