11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth 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 turneth upon his hinges,so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom;it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceitthan seven men that can render a reason.
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
