Proverbs 26:14
12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams the public square!”
As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.
15 The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
