14As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the sluggard upon his bed.
15The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth 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 vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, 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?
20For lack of wood the fire goeth out: and where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.
21As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to inflame strife.
22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23Fervent lips and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him:
25When he speaketh fair, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart:
26Though his hatred cover itself with guile, his wickedness shall be openly shewed before the congregation.
