Proverbs 26:13

American King James Version (1999)

The slothful man said, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

See the chapter Copy

The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The slothful man said, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: see, there you have that is yours.
