Proverbs 26:14-18-19 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

14. Like a door on its hinges, a lazy man turns back and forth on his bed.

15. Lazy people are too lazy to lift the food from their plate to their mouth.

16. Lazy people think they are seven times smarter than the people who really have good sense.

17. To step between two people arguing is as foolish as going out into the street and grabbing a stray dog by the ears.

18-19. Anyone who would trick someone and then say, “I was only joking” is like a fool who shoots flaming arrows into the air and accidentally kills someone.
