Proverbs 26:7 in Context — Proverbs 26

5 Responde ao tolo conforme sua loucura, para que ele não seja sábio aos seus próprios olhos.

6 Quem manda mensagens pelas mãos do tolo é como quem corta os pés e bebe violência.

7 [Assim] como não funcionam as pernas do aleijado, assim também é o provérbio na boca dos tolos.

8 Dar honra ao tolo é como amarrar uma pedra numa funda.

9 Como espinho na mão do bêbado, assim é o provérbio na boca dos tolos.
