Proverbs 26:11-13
International Children’s Bible

11 A dog eats what it throws up.
    And a foolish person repeats his foolishness.

12 Some people think they are wise.
    There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.

13 The lazy person says, “There’s a lion in the road.
    There’s a lion in the streets!”
