In context

9 Like a thorn that falls into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

10 Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or passerby.

11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

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!”

14 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.
