Proverbs 26:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ The legs of a disabled person hang limp;
    so does a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
⁸ It is like binding a stone in a sling
    to give honor to a fool.
⁹ Like a thornbush brandished by the hand of a drunkard
    is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
