The Book of Sluggards (v.13-16).
v.13 A lion. The sluggard says "there is a lion in the road!" (so he doesn't have to go out and work). He may actually believe his comical excuse. Also in 22:13.
v.14 As the door turns. As the door turns on it's hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. The door swings back and forth but goes nowhere. The sluggard is too lazy to get out of bed and take care of his affairs. See 6:9.
v.15 Too lazy to eat. The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish but is too lazy to lift it to his mouth to eat. Same as 19:24. This could also speak to one who starts a project but is too lazy to finish it.
v.16 Wise in his eyes. The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly. See v.12. The sluggard thinks he has life figured out, but he is basically lazy.
Read Proverbs 26:13-16
