Proverbs 22:13

New English Translation

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

See the chapter Copy

The way of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is like a highway.

Laziness brings on a deep sleep, and the idle person will go hungry.

The eyes of the Lord guard knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the faithless person.

“I have already taken off my robe – must I put it on again? I have already washed my feet – must I soil them again?”
