13. The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!A lion in the streets!”
14. Like a door that turns on its hinges,so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15. The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish;he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16. The sluggard is wiser in his own estimationthan seven people who respond with good sense.
17. Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears,so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.
18. Like a madman who shootsfirebrands and deadly arrows,
19. so is a person who deceives his neighbor,and says, “Was I not only joking?”
