13 The hater of work says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 14 A door is turned on its pillar, and the hater of work on his bed. 15 The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him. 16 The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense.
