¹³ The slothful hath said, `A lion `is' in the way, A lion `is' in the broad places.'

¹⁹ As `when' one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him.

³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

¹⁸ And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and sinner -- where shall he appear?
