Proverbs 26:9-14

New King James Version

⁹ Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
^10 [a]The great God who formed everything
Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.
^11 (A)As a dog returns to his own vomit,
^(B)So a fool repeats his folly.
^12 (C)Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
