Proverbs 26:13

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

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

See the chapter Copy

Being lazy is like walking in a thorn patch, but everyone who does right walks on a smooth road.

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

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

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!”
