9 As thorns sunk into the hand of one who is drunk, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things rewards both the fool and transgressors.
11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so the fool returns to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turns upon his hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hides his hand in his bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.
