5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.(G)

6 Sending a message by the hands of a fool(H) is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.

7 Like the useless legs of one who is lame is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(I)

8 Like tying a stone in a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.(J)

9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(K)

10 Like an archer who wounds at random is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.

11 As a dog returns to its vomit,(L) so fools repeat their folly.(M)
