As the door turns on its hinges,
so does the sluggard on his bed.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Proverbs 26:14 in context
Proverbs 26:11–17
11
As a dog that returns to his vomit,
so is a fool who repeats his folly.
12
Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13
The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion roams the streets!”
14
Selected verse
As the door turns on its hinges,
so does the sluggard on his bed.
15
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish.
He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven men who answer with discretion.
17
Like one who grabs a dog’s ears
is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
