19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
19 The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.
19 The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway.
19 The path of lazy people is overgrown with briers; the diligent walk down a smooth road.
19 The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.
19 A lazy person's way is blocked with briers, but the path of the upright is an open highway.

Commentary on Proverbs 15:19
(Read Proverbs 15:19)
Those who have no heart to their work, pretend that they cannot do their work without hardship and danger. And thus many live always in doubt about their state, because always in neglect of some duty.
