In context
6Whoever sends word by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks down violence. 7The legs of a lame man hang useless, and so does a proverb in the mouth of fools. 8Like binding a stone into a sling is giving honor to a fool. 9Like a thornbush that comes up in a drunkard’s hand is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 10Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a fool, or hires whoever passes by.
