Proverbs
Chapters 26:8-14
New International Version Anglicized
8Like tying a stone in a slingis the giving of honour to a fool.
9Like a thorn-bush in a drunkard’s handis a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10Like an archer who wounds at randomis one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11As a dog returns to its vomit,so fools repeat their folly.
12Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?There is more hope for a fool than for them.
13A sluggard says, ‘There’s a lion in the road,a fierce lion roaming the streets!’
14As a door turns on its hinges,so a sluggard turns on his bed.
