9As if a thorn groweth in the hand of a drunken man; so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10Doom determineth causes; and he that setteth silence to a fool, assuageth ires or wraths.
11As a dog that turneth again to his spewing or As an hound that turneth again to his vomit; so is an unprudent man, that rehearseth his folly.
12Thou hast seen a man seem wise to himself; an unknowing man shall have hope more than he.
13A slow man saith, A lion is in the way, a lioness is in the footpaths.
14As a door is turned in his hinges; so a slow man in his bed.
