Proverbs 26:10 Context
8As hee that bindeth a stone in a sling; so is hee that giueth honour to a foole. 9As a thorne goeth vp into the hand of a drunkard; so is a parable in the mouth of fooles. 10The great God that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole, and rewardeth transgressours. 11As a dogge returneth to his vomite: so a foole returneth to his folly. 12Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceit? there is more hope of a foole then of him.
