Proverbs 26:13

Modern King James Version

The lazy one says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

See the chapter Copy

The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The lazy one says, There is a lion outside; I shall be killed in the streets.

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

And I was afraid and went and hid your talent in the earth. Lo, you have yours.
