Proverbs 26:13-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 The slacker says, “There’s a lion in the road—
a lion in the public square!”(A)
14 A door turns on its hinges,
and a slacker, on his bed.(B)
15 The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he is too weary to bring it to his mouth.(C)
16 In his own eyes, a slacker is wiser(D)
than seven men who can answer sensibly.
Proverbs 26:13-16
Lexham English Bible
13 A lazy person says “A lion is in the road!
A lion among the streets!”
14 The door turns on its hinge,
and a lazy person on his bed.
15 A lazy person buries his hands in the dish;
he is too tired to return it to his mouth.
16 A lazy person is wiser in his eyes
than seven who answer discreetly.
