Proverbs 26:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ A ·wise saying spoken by [^Lproverb in the mouth of] a fool
is like a ·thorn stuck in the hand of a drunk [^Lthornbush in the hand of a fool].

¹⁰ Hiring a foolish person or anyone just passing by
is like an archer shooting ·at just anything [randomly].

¹¹ A fool who repeats his ·foolishness [foolish mistakes]
is like a dog that goes back to ·what it has thrown up [its vomit; 2 Pet. 2:22].
