Proverbs 26:13

American Standard Version (1901)

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

See the chapter Copy

The sluggard saith, There is a lion without; I shall be slain in the streets.

Slothfulness casteth 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 I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
