Proverbs 26:13-16

New Century Version

¹³ The lazy person says, “There’s a lion in the road!
    There’s a lion in the streets!”

¹⁴ Like a door turning back and forth on its hinges,
    the lazy person turns over and over in bed.

¹⁵ Lazy people may put their hands in the dish,
    but they are too tired to lift the food to their mouths.

¹⁶ The lazy person thinks he is wiser
    than seven people who give sensible answers.
