Proverbs 26:8-10
Common English Bible
8 Like tying a stone in a sling,
so is giving respect to a fool.
9 Like a thorny bush in the hand of a drunk,
so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds someone randomly,
so is one who hires a fool or a passerby.

10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
