⁶ [As he that] cutteth of [his messengers] feete endamageth himselfe: so doth he that committeth a message to a foole. ⁷ Like as in a lame man his legges are not equall: euen so is a parable in a fooles mouth. ⁸ He that setteth a foole in hye dignitie, that is euen as if a man would bynde a stone in a sling. ⁹ As is a thorne in the hande of a drunkarde: so is a parable in a fooles mouth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The legs of the lame are not equal,.... Or as "the lifting up the legs by one that is lame" m, to dance to a pipe or violin, is very unseemly, and does but the more expose his infirmity, and can give no pleasure to others, but causes derision and contempt;

so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools; an apophthegm, or sententious expression of his own, which he delivers out as a wise saying, but is lame and halts; it is not consistent with itself, but like the legs of a lame man, one higher than the other: or one of the proverbs of this book, or rather any passage of Scripture, in the mouth of a wicked man; or any religious discourse of his is very unsuitable, since his life and conversation do not agree with it; it is as disagreeable to hear such a man talk of religious affairs as it is to see a lame man dance; or whose legs imitate buckets at a well, where one goes up and another down, as Gussetius n interprets the word.

m דליו שוקים מפסה "elevatio crurum a claudo facta", Gejerus, Michaelis. n "Femora claudi imitantur situlas", Gussetius, p. 188. "situlas agunt crura ex claudio", Schultens; "instar binarum sitularum in puteo alternatium adscendentium ac descendentium", Gejerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Or, Take away the legs of the lame man, and the parable that is in the mouth of fools: both are alike useless to their possessors. Other meanings are:

(1) “The legs of the lame man are feeble, so is parable in the mouth of fools.”

(2) “the lifting up of the legs of a lame man, i. e., his attempts at dancing, are as the parable in the mouth of fools.”
