This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_26:6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, [and] drinketh damage.
Ver. 6. He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool.] The worth of a faithful messenger he had set forth; {Pro_15:13} here, the discommodity of a foolish one - such as were the spies Moses sent. {Num_13:1-33; Num_14:1-38} So when the prophet proves a fool, and the "spiritual man is mad," {Hos_9:7} things go on as heavily as if feet were wanting to a traveller, or as if a messenger had lost his legs.
