NASB
"He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence Who sends a message by the hand of a fool."
— Proverbs 26:6, NASB
“He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.”
“He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool Cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh in damage. ”
“One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.”
“Like cutting off the feet or drinking violence, so is sending a message by the hand of a fool.”
“He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.”
“He who sends news by the hand of a foolish man is cutting off his feet and drinking in damage.”
“He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.”
A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools.
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him.
Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes.
He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence Who sends a message by the hand of a fool.
Like the legs which are useless to the lame, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.
Like a thorn which falls into the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
