“He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.”
Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet—a statement that employing a fool as messenger guarantees failure, establishing that delegation to the incompetent is self-harm. The image of cutting off one's own feet describes the damage to oneself. The theological significance involves the principle of wise delegation.
