Nuggets of Wisdom

18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death 19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"

16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly.

15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

9 Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling is one who gives honor to a fool.

7 Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
