New Testament

Proverbs 26:10-19 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

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

11. Like a dog that returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

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

13. A slacker says, “There’s a lion on the road! A lion is in the streets!”

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

15. The slacker plunges his hand in the dish— he is too tired to bring it back to his mouth.

16. A slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer sensibly.

17. Like one who takes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.

18. Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows

19. so is one who deceives his friend, and says, “I was only joking.”
