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?”
