12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
13The slothful man saith, “There is a lion in the way; There is a lion in the streets.”
14As a door turneth upon its hinges, So doth the sluggard upon his bed.
15The sluggard dippeth his hand into the dish; It grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men who can render a reason.
