New Testament

Proverbs 26:13-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

16. The lazy one seems wiser to himself than seven men speaking judgments.

17. Just like one who takes hold of a dog by the ears, so also is he who crosses impatiently and meddles in the quarrels of another.
