Proverbs 24:30-34
More Sayings of the Wise
30
I went by the field of the lazy man,
And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31
And there it was, w all overgrown with thorns;
Its surface was covered with nettles;
Its stone wall was broken down.
32
When I saw it, I considered it well;
I looked on it and received instruction:
33
x A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest;
34
y So shall your poverty come like 1 a prowler,
And your need like 2 an armed man.
