Proverbs 26:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ Giving honor to a foolish person does no good.
    It is like tying a stone in a slingshot.

⁹ A wise saying spoken by a fool
    is like a thorn stuck in the hand of a drunk.

¹⁰ Someone might employ a foolish person or anyone just passing by.
    That employer is like an archer who shoots at anything he sees.
