Proverbs 26:13-15
Young's Literal Translation

13 The slothful hath said, `A lion [is] in the way, A lion [is] in the broad places.'

14 The door turneth round on its hinge, And the slothful on his bed.

15 The slothful hath hid his hand in a dish, He is weary of bringing it back to his mouth.

    he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.(D)

Proverbs 26:13-15
International Children’s Bible

13 The lazy person says, “There’s a lion in the road.
    There’s a lion in the streets!”

14 The lazy person is like a door that turns back and forth on its hinges.
    He stays in bed and turns over and over.

15 The lazy person may put his hand in the dish.
    But he’s too tired to lift the food to his mouth.
