Proverbs 26:13-16

¹³The slacker says, “A lion is in the road!

A fierce lion roams the public square!”

¹⁴As a door turns on its hinges,

so the slacker turns on his bed.

¹⁵The slacker buries his hand in the dish;

it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.

¹⁶The slacker is wiser in his own eyes

than seven men who answer discreetly.
