Proverbs 22:13

New Living Translation

¹³The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there!
If I go outside, I might be killed!”

Proverbs 22:13

Common English Bible

¹³A lazy person says, “There’s a lion in the street!
I’ll be killed in the town square!”

²⁹Do you see any truly competent workers?
They will serve kings
rather than working for ordinary people.

²⁹Do you see people who work skillfully?
They will work for kings
but not work for lowly people.
