7 Like legs that hang limp from a lame person, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like binding a stone in a sling, so is giving honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn that goes up in the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds everyone, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires passersby.
11 Like a dog returning to his vomit is a fool reverting to his folly.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 A lazy person says “A lion is in the road! A lion among the streets!”
