Proverbs 26:6-11
New Life Version
6 He who sends a letter by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and brings trouble upon himself.
7 A wise saying in the mouth of fools is like the legs on a man who cannot walk.
8 He who gives honor to a fool is like one who ties a stone in a sling.
9 A wise saying in the mouth of fools is like a thorn that goes into the hand of a man who drinks too much.
10 He who hires a fool or hires those who pass by is like a man who uses a bow to hurt everyone.
11 A fool who does his foolish act again is like a dog that turns back to what he has thrown up.
