As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him.

Like acid drink to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the hater of work to those who send him.

Καθως το οξος εις τους οδοντας και ο καπνος εις τους οφθαλμους, ουτως ειναι ο οκνηρος εις τους αποστελλοντας αυτον.

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
