11 aAs a dog returns to his own vomit,
bSo a fool repeats his folly.
12 aDo you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 The lazy
man says, “
There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion
is in the
1 streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
So
does the lazy
man on his bed.
15 The
alazy
man buries his hand in the
1 bowl;
It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The lazy
man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 He who passes by
and meddles in a quarrel not his own
Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
