Proverbs 26:13

King James 2000

The slothful man says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

See the chapter Copy

The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made a highway.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The slothful man says, There is a lion outside, I shall be slain in the streets.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, there you have what is yours.
