Seest thou a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
אָמַר עָצֵל שַׁחַל בַּדָּרֶךְ אֲרִי בֵּין הָרְחֹבֽוֹת
The sluggard saith: ‘There is a lion in the way; Yea, a lion is in the streets.’
הַדֶּלֶת תִּסּוֹב עַל־צִירָהּ וְעָצֵל עַל־מִטָּתֽוֹ
The door is turning upon its hinges, And the sluggard is still upon his bed.
טָמַן עָצֵל יָדוֹ בַּצַּלָּחַת נִלְאָה לַֽהֲשִׁיבָהּ אֶל־פִּֽיו
The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish; It wearieth him to bring it back to his mouth.
חָכָם עָצֵל בְּעֵינָיו מִשִּׁבְעָה מְשִׁיבֵי טָֽעַם
