Proverbs 26:13

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The slothful one said, A lion in the way; a lion between the broad places.

See the chapter Copy

The way of the slothful as the cutting of the thorn: and the path of the upright was raised up.

Sloth will cast a deep sleep; and the soul of sloth shall hunger.

The slothful one said, A lion without; I shall be slain in the midst of the broad places.

Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise:

And having been afraid, having gone away, I concealed thy talent in the earth; see, thou hast thine own.
