Proverbs 26:4-5-17 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

6. Never let a fool carry your message. If you do, it will be like cutting off your own feet. You are only asking for trouble.

7. A fool trying to say something wise is like a crippled person trying to walk.

8. Showing honor to a fool is as bad as tying a rock in a sling.

9. A fool trying to say something wise is like a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.
