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.

9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

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.
