The sluggardsays,"There is a lionin the road!A lionis in the opensquare!"
The wayof the lazyis as a hedgeof thorns,But the pathof the uprightis a highway.
Lazinesscastsinto a deepsleep,And an idlemanwill sufferhunger.
The sluggardsays,"There is a lionoutside;I will be killedin the streets!"
Goto the ant,O sluggard,Observeher waysand be wise,
And I was afraid,and went awayand hidyour talentin the ground.See,you havewhatis yours.'
