Proverbs 26:13-17 New International Version (NIV)

13. A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!”

14. As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.

15. A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

16. A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.

17. Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
