Like one who bindsa stonein a sling,Sois he who giveshonorto a fool.
Luxuryis not fittingfor a fool;Muchlessfor a slaveto ruleover princes.
Like snowin summerand like rainin harvest,Sohonoris not fittingfor a fool.
[Like] the legs[which] are uselessto the lame,So is a proverbin the mouthof fools.
[Like] a thorn[which] fallsinto the handof a drunkard,So is a proverbin the mouthof fools.
Undera slavewhenhe becomesking,And a foolwhenhe is satisfiedwith food,
