Proverbs 26:9

5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

6One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.

7Like the legs of the lame that hang loose, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

8As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.

9Like a thorn bush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.

11As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”
