Proverbs 26:13

New King James Version

The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!”

See the chapter Copy

The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!”

Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.

The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.

Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,

And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’
