Proverbs 26:8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
These two verses continue to show us the errors of the fool. We know that if you plan to hit something with a slingshot you have to turn loose of the stone for it to go anywhere. Likewise someone who gives honor to a fool is not only doing disservice to himself but also to the fool because he will never be able to live up to what was given him and he will never hit the mark. For anyone who knows about the affects of alcohol it dulls the senses to almost everything so the person drinking feels little or no pain not realizing the damage they are doing to themselves. The same with a fool who is trying to tell something he knows nothing about injuring himself because his pride has dulled his senses to what he has done. We all know people like this and we should do all we can to help them to understand the error of their ways with the love Christ.
