PROVERBS 26:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.”
The sluggard says, 'There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!'—the beginning of a portrait of the lazy person's excuse-making, echoing 22:13 and emphasizing habitual pattern. The excuse is absurd yet the sluggard clings to it. The theological significance involves the principle of rationalization.
