Proverbs 26:13 in context

  1. 11As a dog that returns to his vomit,
    so is a fool who repeats his folly.
  2. 12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
    There is more hope for a fool than for him.
  3. 13The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
    A fierce lion roams the streets!”
  4. 14As the door turns on its hinges,
    so does the sluggard on his bed.
  5. 15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish.
    He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
