Proverbs 26:13
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams the public square!”
In context
11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams the public square!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.
15 The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
