13The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion in the way; yea, a lion is in the streets.'
14The door is turning upon its hinges, and the sluggard is still upon his bed.
15The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth him to bring it back to his mouth.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men that give wise answer.
17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife not his own, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death;
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith: 'Am not I in sport?'
20Where no wood is, the fire goeth out; and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
