Proverbs 26:13

Modern English Version

The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!”

See the chapter Copy

The road of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the righteous is a highway.

Slothfulness casts a man into a deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.

The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”

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

So I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’
