Proverbs 26:13

World English Bible (WEB)

The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”

In context

11 As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”

14 As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.

15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
