7Too feebly hang down the thighs on a lame man: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8As is the one that bindeth a stone fast in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.
9As a thorn that is come into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10A master injureth all things when he hireth a fool or hireth mere rovers.
11As a dog returneth to his vomit, so doth a fool repeat to act in his folly.
12When thou seest a man wise in his own eyes, then is there more hope for a fool than for him.
13The slothful saith, There is a leopard in the way: a lion is between the streets.
14As a door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15Hath the slothful hidden his hand in the dish, it wearieth him to bring it back again to his mouth.
16The slothful is wiser in his own eyes, than seven men that can give wise answers.
