Proverbs 26:13

Tree of Life Version

A slacker says, “There’s a lion on the road! A lion is in the streets!”

See the chapter Copy

The slacker says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the streets.”

Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will starve.

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

Go to the ant, you slacker— consider its ways and be wise!

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