Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Prov 26:7
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Prov 26:7 · Douay-Rheims
“As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.”
On this verse:
“legs . . . equal--or, "take away the legs," or "the legs . . . are weak." In any case the idea is that they are the occasion of an awkwardness, such as the fool shows in using a parable or proverb (see Introduction; Pro 17:7).”
