5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh in damage.
7 The legs of the lame hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As a bag of gems in a heap of stones, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the month of fools.
10 As an archer that woundeth all, so is he that hireth the fool and he that hireth them that pass by.
11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is a fool that repeateth his folly.
