Proverbs 26:6

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

He drank violence, cutting off the feet, sending words by the hand of the foolish one.

See the chapter Copy

As the cold of snow in the day of harvest a faithful messenger to those sending him: he shall restore the soul of his lord.

As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slothful one to those sending him.

The unjust messenger shall fall into evil: and a messenger of faithfulness is healing.

And the men who went with him said, We shall not be able to go up against the people, for they are strong above us.

Answer the foolish according to his folly lest he shall be wise in his own eyes.

The legs of the lame were weak, and a parable in the mouth of the foolish.
