Hire a fool or a drunk and you shoot yourself in the foot.
The great God that formed all things Both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
[But] like an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or chance passers-by.
As an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.
Like an archer who wounds someone randomly, so is one who hires a fool or a passerby.
Judgment determines cases. And whoever imposes silence on the foolish mitigates anger.
Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
