Re: Please Interpret This Scripture
 

That's a lazy man's excuse for not going to work.

The lazy bum lies around watching TV and drinking cheap beer while collecting food stamps and making lame excuses about the imagined dangers outside his door. ADV (Andrew Degraffenreed Version)

A lazy person says there is a lion outside and I ain't going out there.

Re: Please Interpret This Scripture
 

“Many frighten themselves from real duties by imaginary difficulties…He talks of a lion without, but considers not his real danger from the devil, that roaring lion, which is in bed with him, and from his own slothfulness, which kills him,” [M. Henry].

For the person who is unwilling to do honest work, any excuse will do, though it makes him appear ridiculous by its silliness.

Re: Please Interpret This Scripture

Re: Please Interpret This Scripture
 

I change alot. I am always doing different things. I hate being slothful. That is not me at this present time. I am of the mind one is immobilized when the don't attempt to change.

Cautious yes. Hesitant, yes. Immobilized I don't think so.
