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.
