Proverbs 26:15 in Context — Proverbs 26
13 Le paresseux dit: Il y a un lion sur le chemin, Il y a un lion dans les rues!
14 La porte tourne sur ses gonds, Et le paresseux sur son lit.
15 Le paresseux plonge sa main dans le plat, Et il trouve pénible de la ramener à sa bouche.
16 Le paresseux se croit plus sage Que sept hommes qui répondent avec bon sens.
17 Comme celui qui saisit un chien par les oreilles, Ainsi est un passant qui s’irrite pour une querelle où il n’a que faire.
