NASB
"Like a thorn which falls into the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools."
— Proverbs 26:9, NASB
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.
Like an archer who wounds everyone, So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.
Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly.
Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
