Proverbs 26:13

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.

See the chapter Copy

The way of the sluggard is as an hedge of thorns: But the path of the upright is made an highway.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The sluggard saith, There is a lion without: I shall be murdered in the streets.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
