Proverbs 26:6

The one who sends a message by a fool’s hand
cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
so the slacker is to the one who sends him on an errand.

But the men who had gone up with him responded, “We can’t go up against the people because they are stronger than we are!”

A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but a trustworthy courier brings healing.

To those who send him, a trustworthy messenger
is like the coolness of snow on a harvest day;
he refreshes the life of his masters.
