7 Like the legs of the lame that hang limp
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling
Is he who gives honor to a fool.

10 ¹The great God who formed everything
Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages. ‡

11 ^aAs a dog returns to his own vomit,
^bSo a fool repeats his folly. ‡
