Proverbs 26:13

Contemporary English Version 1995

Don't be lazy and keep saying, “There's a lion outside!”

See the chapter Copy

Don't be so lazy that you say, “If I go to work, a lion will eat me!”

If you are lazy and sleep your time away, you will starve.

A lazy person refuses to clear a thorny path, but everyone who does right walks on a smooth road.

You lazy people can learn by watching an anthill.

I was frightened and went out and hid your money in the ground. Here is every single coin!”
