	BLB Berean Literal Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
13	A lazy one says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion is in the broad places!”	The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!”	A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!”
14	The door that turns about on its hinges, so is a lazy one upon his bed.	As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.	As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15	A lazy one hides his hand in the bowl; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.	The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.	A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16	Wiser is a lazy one in his eyes, than seven returning a reason.	The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly.	A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.
