Proverbs26:8
Verſ. 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 verſ. 1. Aben-Ezra ſaith, that Margemah here rendered a Sling, ſignifies Purple, and ſenſeth it thus; As it is an abſurd thing to wrap a Pibble in purple, ſo is it to prefer a fool, as Saul did Doeg, as Ahaſueroſh, Human.
