 [6 ](/kjv/proverbs/26/6) He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, *and* drinketh damage.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/proverbs/26/7) The legs of the lame are not equal: so *is* a parable in the mouth of fools.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/proverbs/26/8) As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so *is* he that giveth honour to a fool.*
