Proverbs 26:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Don’t send a message by a foolish person.
    That would be like cutting off your feet or drinking poison.

⁷ A wise saying spoken by a fool does no good.
    It is like the legs of a crippled person.

⁸ Giving honor to a foolish person does no good.
    It is like tying a stone in a slingshot.
