In context
10 [As] an archer who woundeth every thing, [so] one who hireth a dullard, and a drunkard crossing the sea.
11 As, a dog, returneth onto his own vomit, a dullard, repeateth his folly.
12 Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eye,—more hope of a dullard, than of him!
13 Saith the sluggard, A roaring lion in the road! A tearing lion in the midst of the broadways.
14 The door, turneth on its hinges, and, the sluggard, upon his bed.
15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 Wiser is the sluggard in his own eyes, than, seven persons, who can answer with judgment.
