Proverbs 26:6-10 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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.
