Yesterday we saw that the God of the Bible has hidden the Truth of His Word for His people to seek and find! We see today, in Proverbs 26:6-9, why He does that!
6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet [of satisfactory delivery] and drinks the damage. 7 Like the legs of a lame man which hang loose, so is a parable in the mouth of a fool. 8 Like he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a [self-confident] fool. 9 Like a thorn that goes [without being felt] into the hand of a drunken man, so is a proverb in the mouth of a [self-confident] fool.
This is telling us that fools cannot be counted on to do even simple delivery tasks! The Word is as useless to a fool as the paralyzed legs of a disabled person (until they receive their healing, that is!). Try to give a fool Wisdom from the Word of God and they will fling it away as easily as a stone in a slingshot! The foolish person will talk about the Word of God and be totally unaware of the power thereof! The Word of God has many descriptions of fools and their foolishness! The very clearest way to recognize a fool is Proverbs 14:1:
1 THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right. AMP
Shalom in Him!
