Proverbs 26:13

Young's Literal Translation 1898

The slothful hath said, `A lion is in the way, A lion is in the broad places.'

See the chapter Copy

The way of the slothful is as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.

Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul doth hunger.

The slothful hath said, `A lion is without, In the midst of the broad places I am slain.'

Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;

and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!
