As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honor is not seemly for a fool.
For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;
Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
The legs of the lame hang loose; So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
As a thorn that goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
