	MSB Majority Standard Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
13	The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams 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	As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns 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 dish; 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	The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.	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.
