Proverbs 26:13

New English Translation

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

Go to the ant, you sluggard; observe its ways and be wise!

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