The sluggard is wiser in his own estimation ¹  than seven people who respond with good sense. ² 

Go to the ant, you sluggard; ¹  observe its ways and be wise!

How long, you sluggard, will you lie there? When will you rise from your sleep? ¹ 

Like vinegar to the teeth and like smoke to the eyes, ¹  so is the sluggard to those ²  who send him.

The appetite ¹  of the sluggard ²  craves ³  but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied. ⁴ 

The way of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, ¹  but the path of the upright is like ²  a highway. ³ 

The sluggard will not plow ¹  during the planting season, ²  so at harvest time he looks ³  for the crop ⁴  but has nothing.

What the sluggard desires ¹  will kill him, ²  for his hands ³  refuse to work.

The sluggard says, “There is a lion ¹  outside! I will be killed in the middle of the streets!” ² 

The sluggard ¹  says, “There is a lion in the road! A lion in the streets!” ² 

Like ¹  a door that turns on its hinges, ²  so a sluggard turns ³  on his bed.

The sluggard plunges ¹  his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. ² 

The sluggard plunges ¹  his hand in the dish, and he will not even bring it back to his mouth! ² 

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom. ¹
