The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!”
The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.
The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the faithless.
Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.
I have taken off my robe; How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them?
