Proverbs 26:12 Context
10The great God that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole, and rewardeth transgressours. 11As a dogge returneth to his vomite: so a foole returneth to his folly. 12Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceit? there is more hope of a foole then of him. 13The slothfull man sayth, There is a lion in the way, a lion is in the streets. 14As the doore turneth vpon his hinges: so doeth the slothfull vpon his bedde.
