9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkardIs a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 The great God who formed everythingGives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.
11 As a dog returns to his own 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 lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road!A fierce lion is in the streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges,So does the lazy man on his bed.
15 The lazy man buries his hand in the bowl;It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
