Verse 8
Pro 26:8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so [is] he that giveth honour to a fool.
Ver. 8. As he that bindeth a stone in a sling. ] A precious stone is not fit for a sling - where it will soon be cast away and lost; no more is honour for a fool. See Proverbs 26:1 . Ebenezra saith that Margemah, here rendered a sling, signifies purple, and senseth it thus: As it is an absurd thing to wrap a pebble in purple, so is it to prefer a fool, as Saul did Doeg, as Ahasuerus Haman.
