Proverbs 26:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ As he who binds a stone in a sling,
    so is he who gives honor to a fool.
⁹ As a thorn goes into the hand of a drunkard,
    so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
¹⁰ The great God who formed all things
    rewards the fool and rewards the transgressor.
