Alternate translation: “A thorn pricking the hand of a drunkard” (2) a drunkard picking up a thorn bush to swing it at people, in which case the word translated at thorn would refer to a thorn bush. Alternate translation: “A thorn bush waved around in the hand of a drunkard”

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply this word from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and a proverb goes up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וּ֝מָשָׁ֗ל
and,proverb
Here, and indicates that Solomon is comparing what follows to what he said in the previous clause. Solomon is saying that a proverb in the mouth of stupid ones is like A thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard because it is harmful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “in the same way a proverb is harmful”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
