Proverbs 26:13

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

A slow man saith, A lion is in the way, a lioness is in the footpaths.

See the chapter Copy

The way of slow men is as an hedge of thorns; the way of just [or rightwise] men is without [thing of] hurting.

Sloth bringeth in sleep; and a negligent soul shall have hunger.

A slow man shall say, A lion is withoutforth; I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.

O! thou slow man, go to the ant; and behold thou his ways, and learn thou wisdom.

and I dreading, went, and hid thy bezant [or talent] in the earth; lo! thou hast that that is thine.
