16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly.
16 Dreamers fantasize their self-importance; they think they are smarter than a whole college faculty.
16 The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer sensibly.
16 Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors.
