Proverbs 26:8

The Message

Putting a fool in a place of honor is like setting a mud brick on a marble column.

See the chapter Copy

Blockheads shouldn’t live on easy street any more than workers should give orders to their boss.

We no more give honors to fools than pray for snow in summer or rain during harvest.

A proverb quoted by fools is limp as a wet noodle.

To ask a moron to quote a proverb is like putting a scalpel in the hands of a drunk.
