New Testament

Proverbs 26:8-16 The Message (MSG)

8. Putting a fool in a place of honoris like setting a mud brick on a marble column.

9. To ask a moron to quote a proverbis like putting a scalpel in the hands of a drunk.

10. Hire a fool or a drunkand you shoot yourself in the foot.

11. As a dog eats its own vomit,so fools recycle silliness.

12. See that man who thinks he’s so smart?You can expect far more from a fool than from him.

13. Loafers say, “It’s dangerous out there!Tigers are prowling the streets!”and then pull the covers back over their heads.

14. Just as a door turns on its hinges,so a lazybones turns back over in bed.

15. A shiftless sluggard puts his fork in the pie,but is too lazy to lift it to his mouth.

16. Dreamers fantasize their self-importance;they think they are smarterthan a whole college faculty.
