There is more hope for the foolish than for him. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> The hater of work says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> A door is turned on its pillar, and the hater of work on his bed. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> As one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death, <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> So is the man who gets the better of his neighbour by deceit, and says, Am I not doing so in sport? <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Smooth lips and an evil heart are like a vessel of earth plated with silver waste. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him; <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils: <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Though his hate is covered with deceit, his sin will be seen openly before the meeting of the people. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> A false tongue has hate for those who have clean hearts, and a smooth mouth is a cause of falling. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n
