5 1Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be 2wise in his own eyes.
6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and 3drinks violence.
7 Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling is 4one who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like 5a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.a
11 Like 6a dog that returns to his vomit is 7a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man who is 8wise in his own eyes? 9There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 10The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!"
14 As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.
15 11The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
