Proverbs 26:8

Answer a fool according to his folly,

lest he be wise in his own eyes.

One who sends a message by the hand of a fool

is cutting off feet and drinking violence.

Like the legs of the lame that hang loose,

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

Like a thorn bush that goes into the hand of a drunkard,

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

As an archer who wounds all,

so is he who hires a fool

or he who hires those who pass by.

As a dog that returns to his vomit,

so is a fool who repeats his folly.
