^13 (A)The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside!
I shall be slain in the streets!”

¹³ The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion is in the ^[a]streets!”
¹⁴ As a door turns on its hinges,
So does the lazy man on his bed.
¹⁵ The ^(A)lazy man buries his hand in the ^[b]bowl;
It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
¹⁶ The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.

^19 (A)The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.
