Proverbs 26:8 Context
6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, cutteth off the feete, and drinketh dammage. 7The legges of the lame are not equall: so is a parable in the mouth of fooles. 8As hee that bindeth a stone in a sling; so is hee that giueth honour to a foole. 9As a thorne goeth vp into the hand of a drunkard; so is a parable in the mouth of fooles. 10The great God that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole, and rewardeth transgressours.
