ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૬:૧૪
જેમ બારણું તેનાં મિજાગરાં પર ફરે છે, તેમ આળસુ પોતાના બિછાના પર આળોટે છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:१४
जैसे किवाड़ अपनी चूल पर घूमता है, वैसे ही आलसी अपनी खाट पर करवटें लेता है।

In context

12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”

14As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.

15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
