“The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.”
Like the legs of the lame that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool—a statement that wisdom-speech is pointless coming from the foolish, establishing that the fool cannot give wise counsel. The image of useless legs describes the uselessness of such speech. The theological significance involves the principle that credibility matters for counsel.
