Proverbs 26:11-16
King James Version
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

Proverbs 26:11-16
New International Version
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,(A)
so fools repeat their folly.(B)
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?(C)
There is more hope for a fool than for them.(D)
13 A sluggard says,(E) “There’s a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!”(F)
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.(G)
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.(H)
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.
