Proverbs 26:13-16 13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the street”. 14 As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. 15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. 16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.
Those unwilling to work can always find excuses. Yet laziness is more dangerous than a prowling lion: the less you do, the less you want to do, and the less useful you become. Overcome it by taking small steps. Set a specific, realistic goal, identify the actions required, and follow through. Pray for strength and perseverance. Stop making excuses before they make you ineffective.
A door swings back and forth on its hinges but never leaves its place. Likewise, a lazy person tosses and turns in bed without getting up to work.
The lazy person loves sleep so much that he seems hinged to his bed, turning from side to side but going nowhere.
The sluggard is so self-absorbed that he refuses advice and sees no need to learn. He assumes he already has every answer without making any effort. Whether counsel comes from seven wise people or many more, he rejects it unless it fully agrees with him.
The ignorant often fail to recognize their own ignorance.
