Proverbs 26:7-9

Young's Literal Translation

⁷ Weak have been the two legs of the lame, And a parable in the mouth of fools.

⁸ As one who is binding a stone in a sling, So [is] he who is giving honour to a fool.

⁹ A thorn hath gone up into the hand of a drunkard, And a parable in the mouth of fools.
