As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.

Ειναι ως εαν εφευγεν ανθρωπος απ' εμπροσθεν λεοντος και αρκτος απηντα αυτον, η ως εαν εισηρχετο εις οικον και επιστηριξαντα την χειρα αυτου εις τον τοιχον, εδαγκανεν αυτον οφις.

As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
