Proverbs 26:7-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

7. The legs of the lame hang loose: So is a parable in the mouth of fools.

8. As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.

9. As a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10. As an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.

11. As a dog that returneth to his vomit, So is a fool that repeateth his folly.

12. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

13. The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.
