Proverbs 26:8

New International Version

⁸Like tying a stone in a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.^(A)

Proverbs 26:8

King James Version

⁸As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

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

¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool^(A) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!^(B)

¹⁰Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

¹⁰Luxury is not fitting for a fool,
Much less ^(A)for a servant to rule over princes.

New International Version (NIV)
