Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.
- A 11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
- B 12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
- C 13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
- D 14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
- C' 15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
- B' 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
- A' 17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
