Proverbs 26:13

A Conservative Version

The sluggard says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

See the chapter Copy

The sluggard says, There is a lion outside. I shall be slain in the streets.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is made a highway.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise.

And after being afraid, having gone, I hid thy talent in the ground. Lo, thou have thine own.
