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

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

THE SHULAMITE: I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying,“ Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.”I have taken off my robe; How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them?

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

The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.
