New International Version

¹³The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside!^(A)
I’ll be killed in the public square!”

Proverbs 22:13

Lexham English Bible

¹³A lazy person says “A lion in the street!
In the middle of the highway, I shall be killed!”

²⁹Do you see someone skilled^(A) in their work?
They will serve^(B) before kings;^(C)
they will not serve before officials of low rank.

²⁹A man who is skillful in his work, you shall see:
before kings, he will serve;
he will not serve before the commoners.

New International Version (NIV)
