In context
10All the flesh of fools endures much hardship; For their fury is brought to nought.
11As when a dog goes to his own vomit, and becomes abominable, So is a fool who returns in his wickedness to his own sin. a There is a shame that brings sin: And there is a shame that is glory and grace.
— Proverbs 26:12 —
13A sluggard when sent on a journey says, There is a lion in the ways, And there are murderers in the streets.
14As a door turns on the hinge, So does a sluggard on his bed.
