8 As he that binds a stone in a sling, so is he that gives honor to a fool.
9 As a thorn goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things gives the fool his hire, and the transgressor his wages.
11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.
12 See a man wise in his own eyes? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turns upon its hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.
