6Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7Like the legs of a paralytic which hang down is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8Like tying a stone in a sling is giving honor to a fool.
9Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10Like an archer who wounds all those around him is one who hires a fool or hires anyone who passes by.
11As a dog returns to his own vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.
