Proverbs 26:8

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Showing honor to a fool is as bad as tying a rock in a sling.

See the chapter Copy

Just as snow should not fall in summer, nor rain at harvest time, so people should not honor a fool.

a slave who becomes a king, fools who have everything they need,

A fool should not be rich, and a slave should not rule over princes.

A fool trying to say something wise is like a crippled person trying to walk.

A fool trying to say something wise is like a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.
