15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The fainéant is too lazy to eat.
Hyperbole, but point taken.
13 A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The old “Lion In The Streets” excuse.
A door has a purpose to use the hinges.
An idler wastes his life loitering in bed.
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Only a fool thinks himself wise.
