13The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18As a mad man who casteth fire-brands, arrows, and death,
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
