9 In the manner of a thorn, if it were to spring up from the hand of a drunkard, so also is a parable in the mouth of the foolish.
10 Judgment determines cases. And whoever imposes silence on the foolish mitigates anger.
11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit, so also is the imprudent who repeats his foolishness.
12 Have you seen a man who seems wise to himself? There will be greater hope held for the unwise than for him.
13 The lazy one says, 'There is a lion along the way, and a lioness in the roads.'
