9Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard
is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
This is a wonderful chapter full of interesting images. I liked this image today of a drunk man who gets a thorn in his hand. He’s so sauced that the thorn has no effect. In the same way a fool is so self-deceived that she can speak a proverb that ought to cut her to ribbons, and yet she doesn’t feel a thing. The anesthetized, self-deceived church of Laodicea was chastised for this in Revelation. But one day everyone will awaken to the sobering judgment.
