Proverbs 26:5-9

Answer a fool as his foolishness deserves, So that he will not be wise in his own eyes.

One who sends a message by the hand of a fool Chops off his own feet and drinks violence.

Like useless legs to one who cannot walk, So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.

Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is one who gives honor to a fool.

Like a thorn that sticks in the hand of a heavy drinker, So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
