Proverbs 26:13 in Context — Proverbs 26

11 Como perro que vuelve á su vómito, así el necio que repite su necedad.

12 ¿Has visto hombre sabio en su opinión? más esperanza hay del necio que de él.

13 Dice el perezoso: El león está en el camino; el león está en las calles.

14 Las puertas se revuelven en sus quicios: así el perezoso en su cama.

15 Esconde el perezoso su mano en el seno; cánsase de tornarla á su boca.
