Proverbs 22:13

New King James Version

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

Proverbs 22:13

Authorized (King James) Version

¹³The slothful man saith, There is a lion without,
I shall be slain in the streets.

²⁹Do you see a man who ^[a]excels in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before ^[b]unknown men.

²⁹Seest thou a man diligent in his business?
he shall stand before kings;
he shall not stand before mean men.
