Proverbs 26:6-11

Authorized (King James) Version

⁶ He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool
cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

⁷ The legs of the lame are not equal:
so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

⁸ As he that bindeth a stone in a sling,
so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

⁹ As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard,
so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

¹⁰ The great God that formed all things
both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

¹¹ As a dog returneth to his vomit,
so a fool returneth to his folly.
