Proverbs 26:8

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

As one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.

As one that bindeth a stone in a sling, So is he that giveth honor to a fool.

As one who is binding a stone in a sling, So `is' he who is giving honour to a fool.

Like binding a stone into a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.
