8As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10The great God that formed all things Both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11As a dog returneth to his vomit, So a fool returneth to his folly.
12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
