In the manner of a thorn, if it were to spring up from the hand of a drunkard, so also is a parable in the mouth of the foolish.
Judgment determines cases. And whoever imposes silence on the foolish mitigates anger.
Like a dog that returns to his vomit, so also is the imprudent who repeats his foolishness.
Have you seen a man who seems wise to himself? There will be greater hope held for the unwise than for him.
The lazy one says, “There is a lion along the way, and a lioness in the roads.”
Just as a door turns upon its hinges, so also does the lazy one turn upon his bed.
The lazy one conceals his hand under his arms, and it is a labor for him to move it to his mouth.
