Proverbs 26:8

Contemporary English Version 1995

Are you going to honor a fool? Why not shoot a slingshot with the rock tied tight?

See the chapter Copy

Expecting snow in summer and rain in the dry season makes more sense than honoring a fool.

A slave who becomes king, a fool who eats too much,

It isn't right for a fool to live in luxury or for a slave to rule in place of a king.

A fool with words of wisdom is like an athlete with legs that can't move.

A thornbush waved around in the hand of a drunkard is no worse than a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
