Proverbs 26:15 in Context — Proverbs 26
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.
17 Aquele que, enquanto está passando, [se envolve] em briga que não é sua, é [como] o que pega um cão pelas orelhas.
