6 The one who sends a message by a fool’s hand cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7 A proverb in the mouth of a foolis like lame legs that hang limp.
8 Giving honor to a foolis like binding a stone in a sling.
9 A proverb in the mouth of a foolis like a stick with thorns,brandished by the hand of a drunkard.
10 The one who hires a fool or who hires those passing byis like an archer who wounds everyone.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,so a fool repeats his foolishness.
12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
