Proverbs 26

I can clearly picture the point of verse 8. Take a stone and tie it into the pouch of a sling. No matter how hard the sling is spun the stone never leaves. As a weapon it is only good for show. As a shepherd's tool it will retrieve no wandering lamb. As a hunting device it would stun no quarry. A sling with a stone fixed in the pouch has no practical use; it will produce no fruit. Such is the fruit when a foolish person is given an honor.
