Proverbs 26:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ If you tie a stone into a sling, it will be a useless weapon.
    It is also useless to give honour to a fool.
⁹ A fool who speaks a proverb is like a drunk person with a thorn in his finger.
    He does not know what to do with it.
¹⁰ A soldier who shoots his arrows everywhere is useless.
    It is the same if you ask a stupid person to do work for you.
