¹²Do you see persons wise in their own eyes?
There is more hope for fools than for them.
¹³The lazy person says, “There is a lion in the road!
There is a lion in the streets!”
¹⁴As a door turns on its hinges,
so does a lazy person in bed.
¹⁵The lazy person buries a hand in the dish,
and is too tired to bring it back to the mouth.
¹⁶The lazy person is wiser in self-esteem
than seven who can answer discreetly.
¹⁷Like somebody who takes a passing dog by the ears
is one who meddles in the quarrel of another.
¹⁸Like a maniac who shoots deadly firebrands and arrows, ¹⁹so is one who deceives a neighbor
and says, “I am only joking!”
