- Like an archer who wounds everyone, So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.
- Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly.
- Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
- The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square!"
- As the door turns on its hinges, So does the sluggard on his bed.

- Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any passer-by.
- As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
- Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
- The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!"
- As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.

- The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
- The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.
- Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him.
- Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death,
- So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, "Was I not joking?"

- The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
- The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
- Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
- Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows
- is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I was only joking!"
