Proverbs 26:6
Berean Standard Bible
Like cutting off one’s own feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool.
Context
4Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be like him. 5Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he become wise in his own eyes. 6Like cutting off one’s own feet or drinking violence
is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool. 7Like lame legs hanging limp
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. 8Like binding a stone into a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.
