Proverbs 26:8-10
New International Reader's Version

8 Giving honor to a foolish person
    is like tying a stone in a slingshot.

9 A proverb in the mouth of a foolish person
    is like a thorn in the hand of someone who is drunk.

10 Anyone who hires a foolish person or someone who is passing by
    is like a person who shoots arrows at just anybody.
