Proverbs 26:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ Like unto the way that the one who is lame walks, so is a proverb in the mouth of the fool.

⁸ As he that binds the stone in the sling, so is he that gives honour to a fool.

⁹ As thorns sunk into the hand of one who is drunk, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
