Proverbs 26:8
stone .... sling <068 04773 06872> [bindeth a stone in a sling. Heb. putteth a precious stone in a heap of stones.]
This probably refers, as Coverdale understands it, to the custom of throwing a stone to the heap under which a criminal was buried. So the Vulgate, {Sicut qui mittit lapidem in acervum Mercurii; ita qui tribuit insipienti honorem,} "As he who throws a stone to Mercury's heap, so is he who gives honour to a fool." Mercury was a heathen god of highways; and stones were erected in different parts to guide the traveller: hence those lines of Dr. Young, "Death stands like Mercuries in every way; And kindly points us to our journey's end."
giving <05414> [so.]
Proverbs 26:27
digs <03738> [diggeth.]
