9As a thorne standing vp in the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fooles.
10The excellent that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole and rewardeth the transgressers.
11As a dog turneth againe to his owne vomit, so a foole turneth to his foolishnes.
12Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him.
13The slouthfull man sayth, A lyon is in the way: a lyon is in the streetes.
14As the doore turneth vpon his hinges, so doeth the slouthfull man vpon his bed.
