4If a foolish person asks a foolish question, do not answer him, because if you answer his question, you are just as foolish as he is.
5If you give a foolish answer to someone who asks a foolish question, he will realize that he is ◄not very wise/foolish►.
6Anyone who asks a foolish person to take a message to someone is himself doing something as foolish as cutting off his own feet or drinking poison.
7A lame man cannot use his legs, and similarly SIM it is useless for a foolish person to speak MTY ◄proverbs/wise sayings►.
8Tying a stone in a sling so that it cannot be thrown at a target is as foolish as SIM honoring a foolish person.
