Proverbs 26:13

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.

See the chapter Copy

The slothful man saith: There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.

Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:

And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
