Proverbs 24:30–34

30  qI passed by the field of a sluggard,

by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,

31  and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;

the ground was covered with nettles,

and its stone wall was broken down.

32  Then I saw and considered it;

I looked and received instruction.

33  rA little sleep, a little slumber,

a little sfolding of the hands to rest,

34  and tpoverty will come upon you like a robber,

and want like an armed man.
