Proverbs 26:13

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

See the chapter Copy

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

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: But the way of the righteous is made plain.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
