Proverbs 26:6

[Verses 6–10 form a chiasm. Verses 6 and 10 are about not entrusting anything important to a fool. Verses 7 and 9 are about proverbs in the mouth of a fool and not taking a fool's words seriously. Central to verse 8 is the climax that it is absurd and dangerous to honor and exalt a fool.]
Sending a message with a fool
is like cutting off your feet [the message will not arrive] and drinking violence [it invites disaster].
