Pro. 26: 8 Honoring a fool is as foolish as tying a stone to a slingshot. (NLT)

Today I chose verse 8 because of the imagery of tying a stone to a slingshot.  Chapter 26 has much to say about fools.  But this verse in particular I think means try as you may to honor a fool, it will only come back to haunt you-literally like that stone tied to the slingshot that’s coming straight back on you, sorta like spittin’ in the wind.

Read the whole chapter and leave a comment on your favorite for the day.
