13 The lazy one says, "There is a lion along the way, and a lioness in the roads."
14 Just as a door turns upon its hinges, so also does the lazy one turn upon his bed.
15 The lazy one conceals his hand under his arms, and it is a labor for him to move it to his mouth.
16 The lazy one seems wiser to himself than seven men speaking judgments.
17 Just like one who takes hold of a dog by the ears, so also is he who crosses impatiently and meddles in the quarrels of another.
18 Just as he is guilty who let loose the arrows and the lances unto death,
19 so also is the man who harms his friend by deceitfulness. And when he has been apprehended, he says, "I did it jokingly."
