The sluggard saith, There is a lion without;\par\tab I shall be slain in the streets.
The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns;\par\tab But the path of the upright is made a highway.
The eyes of Jehovah preserve {\i him that hath} knowledge;\par\tab But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous man.
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;\par\tab And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
I have put off my garment; how shall I put it on?\par\tab I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
