Proverbs 26:11-17

¹¹As a dog turneth back to its vomit, so a fool repeateth his folly.

¹²Hast thou seen a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

¹³The sluggard saith, There is a fierce lion in the way; a lion is in the midst of the streets!

¹⁴As the door turneth upon its hinges, so the sluggard upon his bed.

¹⁵The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish: it wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.

¹⁶A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men that answer discreetly.

¹⁷He that passing by vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
