6 Sending messages with a foolis like cutting off one’s feet or drinking down violence.
7 As legs dangle from a disabled person,so does a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like tying a stone in a sling,so is giving respect to a fool.
9 Like a thorny bush in the hand of a drunk,so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds someone randomly,so is one who hires a fool or a passerby.
11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit,so a fool repeats foolish mistakes.
12 Do you see people who consider themselves wise?There is more hope for a fool than for them.
