Proverbs 26:8

New King James Version

Like one who binds a stone in a sling Is he who gives honor to a fool.

See the chapter Copy

As snow in summer and rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.

For a servant when he reigns, A fool when he is filled with food,

Luxury is not fitting for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule over princes.

Like the legs of the lame that hang limp Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
