Proverbs 26:8-10

New Life Version

⁸ He who gives honor to a fool is like one who ties a stone in a sling.

⁹ A wise saying in the mouth of fools is like a thorn that goes into the hand of a man who drinks too much.

¹⁰ He who hires a fool or hires those who pass by is like a man who uses a bow to hurt everyone.
