Proverbs 26:9

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

A fool trying to say something wise is like a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.

See the chapter Copy

You will say, “They hit me, but I never felt it. They beat me, but I don’t remember it. Now I can’t wake up. I need another drink.”

Showing honor to a fool is as bad as tying a rock in a sling.

Hiring a fool or a stranger who is just passing by is dangerous—you don’t know who might get hurt.
