Proverbs 26:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ It is like binding a stone in a sling
    to give honour to a fool.
⁹ Like a thornbush brandished by the hand of a drunkard
    is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
¹⁰ Like an archer who wounds everybody
    is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.^[a]
