Proverbs 26:7-9
New American Standard Bible

7 Like [a]useless legs to one who cannot walk,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
8 Like [b]one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is one who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn that [c]sticks in the hand of a heavy drinker,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.
