Proverbs 26:10-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. Judgment determines cases. And whoever imposes silence on the foolish mitigates anger.

11. Like a dog that returns to his vomit, so also is the imprudent who repeats his foolishness.

12. Have you seen a man who seems wise to himself? There will be greater hope held for the unwise than for him.

13. The lazy one says, "There is a lion along the way, and a lioness in the roads."

14. Just as a door turns upon its hinges, so also does the lazy one turn upon his bed.

15. The lazy one conceals his hand under his arms, and it is a labor for him to move it to his mouth.
