The Unattractive Portrait of the Sluggard

The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!

    There is a lion in the streets!”

As a door turns on its hinges,

    so does a sluggard on his bed.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

    it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.

The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes

    than seven men who can answer sensibly.

Proverbs 26:13-16 (ESV)
