Proverbs 26:9

Good News Translation

A fool quoting a wise saying reminds you of a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.

See the chapter Copy

“I must have been hit,” you will say; “I must have been beaten up, but I don't remember it. Why can't I wake up? I need another drink.”

An employer who hires any fool that comes along is only hurting everybody concerned.

Praising someone who is stupid makes as much sense as tying a stone in a sling.
