6. He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
7. As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
8. As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9. As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
