Proverbs 26:7 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

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.”

Proverbs 26:7

7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
