Proverbs 26:14 in Context — Proverbs 26

12 Viste algum homem sábio aos seus próprios olhos? Mais esperança há para o tolo do que para ele.

13 O preguiçoso diz: Há uma fera no caminho; há um leão nas ruas.

14 [Como] a porta se vira em torno de suas dobradiças, [assim] o preguiçoso [se vira] em sua cama.

15 O preguiçoso põe sua mão no prato, e acha cansativo demais trazê-la de volta a sua boca.

16 O preguiçoso se acha mais sábio aos próprios olhos do que sete que respondem com prudência.
