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 foolis 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.
11 A dog eats what it throws up.And a foolish person repeats his foolishness.
12 Some people think they are wise.There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.
13 The lazy person says, “There’s a lion in the road.There’s a lion in the streets!”
14 The lazy person is like a door that turns back and forth on its hinges.He stays in bed and turns over and over.
