The lazy one says, A lion is in the way, a lion is between the open places!
The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright ones is lifted up.
Laziness makes one fall into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall be hungry.
The lazy one says, A lion is outside! I will be killed in the midst of the broad places.
Go to the ant, lazy man; see her ways and be wise;
and being afraid, going away, I hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have yours.
