PROVERBS 26:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.”
Like a thornbush in a drunkard's hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool—a statement that wisdom-speech from the fool harms (both the fool and the hearer), establishing that the fool grasps and wields wisdom dangerously. The thorns harm the one holding them. The theological significance involves the principle of danger in foolish manipulation of truth.
