Proverbs 26:9

As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.

Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.

`As' a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.

A thorn hath gone up into the hand of a drunkard, And a parable in the mouth of fools.

Like a thorn that falls into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
