A proverb in the mouth of a fool
     is as useless as a paralyzed leg.

8 

Honoring a fool
     is as foolish as tying a stone to a slingshot.

A proverb in the mouth of a fool
     is like a thorny branch brandished by a drunk.

Some people can't tell a joke because they don't get the humor behind it. Similarly, verse 7 says that a fool can't explain a parable because they don't grasp the deeper meaning or truth it's meant to convey.

Verse 8 compares honoring a fool to tying a stone to a sling—it misses the point entirely, just like a sling is useless with a stone that can't be thrown.

Verse 9 warns that a fool's parable, like a drunk person not noticing a thorn bush, can cause harm. If someone believes the twisted message in a fool's parable, it can mislead or hurt them.

Let me ask you: Are you good at telling jokes? Have you ever considered trying to share wisdom through parables?
