Proverbs 26:9

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

See the chapter Copy

And thou shalt say: They have beaten me, but I was not sensible of pain: they drew me, and I felt not: when shall I awake, and find wine again?

As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
