Commentary on Proverbs 26:6

Theological / Devotional

Cutteth off. A man who relies upon a fool to carry out important business is depriving himself of any hope of the accomplishment of his mission, and the damage that he suffers as a result of his messenger’s behavior is likely to be greater than if he had never attempted to send the message.
