procerbs 26:6-7
my question is about the beginning of the sentence: trusting a fool to convey... In my point of view I should use trusting in a fool to convey or trusting to a fool to convey, but I believe that is not wrong the way used in sentence just confused me because my native language.
I can use this same idea in other sentences? for exemple
believing a snake is dangerous
trusting a cheater is stupidity

Trusting a fool to convey is correct, "to" before "a fool" makes it unnatural and a bit difficult to understand. The other two sentences are correct as written too.
