5Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6He cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage, Who sendeth a message by the hand of a fool.
7The legs of a lame man hang loose; So is it with a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8As he who bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.
9As a thorn lifted up by the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10As an archer who woundeth every one, So is he who hireth fools and hireth wayfarers.
