	LSV Literal Standard Version	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
13	The slothful has said, \|\| “A lion [is] in the way, \|\| A 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 turns around on its hinge, \|\| And the slothful 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 slothful has hid his hand in a dish, \|\| He is weary of bringing 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] the slothful in his own eyes, \|\| Than seven [men] 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.
