Proverbs 26:9

New King James Version

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

See the chapter Copy

“They have struck me, but I was not hurt; They have beaten me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink?”

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

The great God who formed everything Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.
