9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard,so is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10 Like an archer who wounds at random,so is the one who hires a fool or hires any passer-by.
11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit,so a fool repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?There is more hope for a fool than for him.
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.
