Proverbs 26:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. Like an archer who wounds someone randomly,so is one who hires a fool or a passerby.

11. Like a dog that returns to its vomit,so a fool repeats foolish mistakes.

12. Do you see people who consider themselves wise?There is more hope for a fool than for them.

13. A lazy person says, "There’s a lion in the path!A lion in the plazas!"

14. As a door turns on its hinge,so do lazy people in their beds.

15. Lazy people bury their hand into the bowl,too tired to return it to their mouth.
