Proverbs 26:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ A fool trying to say something wise is like a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.

¹⁰ Hiring a fool or a stranger who is just passing by is dangerous—you don’t know who might get hurt.

¹¹ Like a dog that returns to its vomit, a fool does the same foolish things again and again.
