PROVERBS 26:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.”
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly—a statement that the lazy person's self-assessment is absurdly inflated, establishing that the sluggard combines laziness with arrogance. The contrast between the sluggard's opinion and actual wise people's judgment is stark. The theological significance involves the principle of the fool's blindness to his condition.
