6He choppeth off the feet, and drinketh vexation, that sendeth important messages by the hand of a fool.
7Too feebly hang down the thighs on a lame man: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8As is the one that bindeth a stone fast in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.
9As a thorn that is come into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10A master injureth all things when he hireth a fool or hireth mere rovers.
11As a dog returneth to his vomit, so doth a fool repeat to act in his folly.
12When thou seest a man wise in his own eyes, then is there more hope for a fool than for him.
13The slothful saith, There is a leopard in the way: a lion is between the streets.
14As a door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
