The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 7 is found in chapter 26 of Proverbs. The chapter gathers proverbs about the fool and explains when his words deserve an answer and when answering merely reproduces his folly. The whip, bridle, and stone illustrate that some fools seem incapable of learning. The paradox requires discernment: some statements must be corrected so they do not go unanswered, while others should not drag the wise person down to the same level of foolishness.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
