Proverbs
Chapters 26:11-17
New International Version Anglicized
11As a dog returns to its vomit,so fools repeat their folly.
12Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?There is more hope for a fool than for them.
13A sluggard says, ‘There’s a lion in the road,a fierce lion roaming the streets!’
14As a door turns on its hinges,so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16A sluggard is wiser in his own eyesthan seven people who answer discreetly.
17Like one who grabs a stray dog by the earsis someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
