Proverbs 26:12-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. Have you seen a man wise in his own eyes? There is more expectancy for a fool than for him.

13. The lazy one says, “There is a lion in the way! A fierce lion is in the streets!”

14. As a door turns on its hinges, So does the lazy one turn on his bed.

15. The lazy one buries his hand in a dish; It tires him to bring it back to his mouth.

16. The lazy one is wiser in his own eyes Than seven rendering advice.
