Proverbs
Chapters 26:6-12
New International Version Anglicized
6Sending a message by the hands of a foolis like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.
7Like the useless legs of one who is lameis a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
8Like tying a stone in a slingis the giving of honour to a fool.
9Like a thorn-bush in a drunkard’s handis a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10Like an archer who wounds at randomis one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11As a dog returns to its vomit,so fools repeat their folly.
12Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?There is more hope for a fool than for them.
