As a thorn goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

Excellent speech is not befitting a fool; much less lying lips a prince.

But to the wicked God says, What is it you do, to declare My Statutes, and to take up My Covenant in your mouth;

When you saw a thief, then you were pleased to be with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers.

You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.

So they shall stumble over their own tongues; everyone who sees them shall flee away.

Or how can you say to your brother, Let me remove the twig from your eye; and behold, a beam is in your own eye?

Hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the twig from your brother's eye.

And He said to them, You will surely say this proverb to Me, Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.
