9 Like ¹a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

10 Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.^a

11 Like ²a dog that returns to his vomit is ³a fool who repeats his folly.

12 Do you see a man who is ⁴wise in his own eyes? ⁵There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13 ⁶The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!"

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

15 ⁷The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.

16 The sluggard is ⁸wiser in his own eyes ⁹than seven men who can answer sensibly.

17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.

18 Like a madman who throws ¹⁰firebrands, arrows, and death

19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"

20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no ¹¹whisperer, ¹²quarreling ceases.

21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is ¹³a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.

22 ¹⁴The words of ¹⁵a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.

23 ¹⁶Like the ¹⁷glaze^b covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.

24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;

25 ¹⁸when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are ¹⁹seven abominations in his heart;

26 though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

27 ²⁰Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.

28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
