8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling is ⁴one who gives honor to a fool.

9 Like ⁵a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

23 ²⁰Like the ²¹glaze^b covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.

24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;

25 ²²when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are ²³seven abominations in his heart;
