Proverbs 26:13-17

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.

¹⁷As one that taketh a dog by the ears, So is he who, passing by, is enraged on account of the quarrel of another.
