	CSB Christian Standard Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
13	The slacker says, “There’s a lion in the road — a lion in the public square! ”	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	A door turns on its hinges, and a slacker, on 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	The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he is too weary to bring it 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	In his own eyes, a slacker is wiser than seven who can answer sensibly.	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.
