In context
10 The excellent that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole and rewardeth the transgressers.
11 As a dog turneth againe to his owne vomit, so a foole turneth to his foolishnes.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him.
13 The slouthfull man sayth, A lyon is in the way: a lyon is in the streetes.
14 As the doore turneth vpon his hinges, so doeth the slouthfull man vpon his bed.
15 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason.
