There is more hope for a fool than for him.H7200H376H2450H5869H8615H3684 13The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!"H6102H559H7826H1870H738H7339 14As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.H1817H5437H6735H6102H4296 15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.H6102H2934H3027H6747H3811H7725H6310 16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.H6102H2450H5869H7651H7725H2940 17Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.H5674H5674H7379H2388H3611H241 18Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrowsH3856H3384H2131H2671H4194 19is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I was only joking!"H376H7411H7453H559H7832 20Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.H657H6086H784H3518H5372H4066H8367 21As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.H6352H1513H6086H784H4079H4066H376H2787H7379 22The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.H1697H5372H3859H3381H2315H990 23Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.H1814H8193H7451H3820H2789H6823H3701H5509 24A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit.H8130H5234H8193H7896H4820H7130 25Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart.H6963H2603H539H7651H8441H3820 26His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.H8135H3680H4860H7451H1540H6951 27If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him.H3738H7845H5307H1556H68H7725 28A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.H8267H3956H8130H1790H2509H6310H6213H4072
