Proverbs 26:8-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. Giving honor to a foolish person does no good.It is like tying a stone in a slingshot.

9. A wise saying spoken by a foolis like a thorn stuck in the hand of a drunk.

10. Someone might employ a foolish person or anyone just passing by.That employer is like an archer who shoots at anything he sees.

11. A dog eats what it throws up.And a foolish person repeats his foolishness.

12. Some people think they are wise.There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.

13. The lazy person says, “There’s a lion in the road.There’s a lion in the streets!”

14. The lazy person is like a door that turns back and forth on its hinges.He stays in bed and turns over and over.
