Proverbs 26:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
5
Answer a fool as his foolishness
deserves,
So that he will not be wise in his own eyes.
6
One who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Chops off
his own
feet
and
drinks violence.
7
Like
useless legs to one who cannot walk,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
8
Like one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is one who gives honor to a fool.
9
Like
a thorn
that
sticks in the hand of a heavy drinker,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
10
Like
an archer who wounds everyone,
So is one who hires a fool or hires those who pass by.
11
Like a dog that returns to its vomit,
So is a fool who repeats his foolishness.

As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
