19 The way of ha sluggard is like a hedge of ithorns,
but the path of the upright is ja level highway.
Proverbs 19:24
24 oThe sluggard buries his hand in pthe dish
and will not even bring it back to his mouth.
Proverbs 24:30–34
30 hI passed by the field of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a man ilacking sense,
31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone jwall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and kconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 lA little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
