9 Like a thorn-bush in a drunkard’s handis a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10 Like an archer who wounds at randomis one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,so fools repeat their folly.
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?There is more hope for a fool than for them.
13 A sluggard says, ‘There’s a lion in the road,a fierce lion roaming the streets!’
14 As a door turns on its hinges,so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
