New International Version Anglicized

Proverbs 26:10-16 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

10. Like an archer who wounds at randomis one who hires a fool or any passer-by.

11. As a dog returns to its vomit,so fools repeat their folly.

12. Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?There is more hope for a fool than for them.

13. A sluggard says, ‘There’s a lion in the road,a fierce lion roaming the streets!’

14. As a door turns on its hinges,so a sluggard turns on his bed.

15. A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

16. A sluggard is wiser in his own eyesthan seven people who answer discreetly.
