Proverbs 26:5-9

Instead, if you’re asked a silly question, answer it with words of wisdom so the fool doesn’t think he’s so clever. If you choose a fool to represent you, you’re asking for trouble. It will be as bad for you as cutting off your own feet! You can never trust the words of a fool, just like a crippled man can’t trust his legs to support him. Give honor to a fool and watch it backfire— like a stone tied to a slingshot. The statements of a fool will hurt others like a thorn bush brandished by a drunk.
