like,binding stone in/on/at/with,sling yes/correct/thus/so giving to,fool honor

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כִּצְר֣וֹר אֶ֭בֶן בְּמַרְגֵּמָ֑ה
like,binding stone in/on/at/with,sling
The words Like and so in this verse indicate that Solomon is comparing tying a stone in a sling with giving honor to a stupid one. The point is that both of these are useless. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this more explicit. Alternate translation: “Just as tying a stone in a sling is useless”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
כִּצְר֣וֹר אֶ֭בֶן בְּמַרְגֵּמָ֑ה
like,binding stone in/on/at/with,sling
A sling is a weapon used to throw a stone at someone. The act of tying a stone in a sling would make that sling useless. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of weapon, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “Like tying an arrow to a bow” or “Like a weapon that cannot hurt anyone”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נוֹתֵ֖ן & כָּבֽוֹד
giving & honor
Here, Solomon refers to honoring someone as if honor were an object that someone gives to someone else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is one who honors”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
לִכְסִ֣יל
to,fool
See how you translated a stupid one in 10:18.
