13 The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the sluggard upon his bed.
15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; it wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 He that passeth by, and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death;
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
