Proverbs 26:8

⁸As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.

⁸As he that bindeth^[+] a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

⁸Like binding a stone into a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.

⁸Honoring someone stupid is as pointless as tying a stone into a sling.

¹Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

²²For a servant when he is king, a fool when he is filled with food,

¹⁰Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
