Proverbs 26:9-15 Good News Bible (GNB)

9. A fool quoting a wise saying reminds you of a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.

10. An employer who hires any fool that comes along is only hurting everybody concerned.

11. A fool doing some stupid thing a second time is like a dog going back to its vomit.

12. The most stupid fool is better off than someone who thinks he is wise when he is not.

13. Why don't lazy people ever get out of the house? What are they afraid of? Lions?

14. Lazy people turn over in bed. They get no farther than a door swinging on its hinges.

15. Some people are too lazy to put food in their own mouths.
