Picking out single proverbs and using them to control or shame others is a dangerous game. But it happens. King Solomon gives some great responses for situations like that. If you’ve ever had someone throw a proverb in your face to try and mastermind you somehow, then throw one of these back next time:
“A proverb in the mouth of a fool is as useless as a paralyzed leg.”
“A proverb in the mouth of a fool is like a thorny branch brandished by a drunk.”
