NET © [draft] ITL	Like tying <06887> a stone <068> in a sling <04773> , so <03651> is giving <05414> honor <03519> to a fool <03684> .
NET ©	Like tying a stone in a sling,¹ so is giving honor to a fool.
NET © Notes	¹tn The translation “like tying a stone in a sling” seems to make the most sense, even though the word for “sling” occurs only here. sn The point is that only someone who does not know how a sling works would do such a stupid thing (R. N. Whybray, Proverbs [CBC], 152). So to honor a fool would be absurd; it would be counterproductive, for he would still be a fool.
