Proverbs 26:8-12 New International Version (NIV)

8. Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.

9. Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

10. Like an archer who wounds at random is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.

11. As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.

12. Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
