30 I went by the fielde of the slouthfull, and by the vineyarde of the foolishe man:

31 And lo, it was all couered with nettles, and stoode full of thornes, and the stone wall was broken downe.

32 This I sawe, and considered it well: I looked vpon it, and toke it for a warning.

33 Yea sleepe on styll I say a litle, slumber a litle, folde thy handes together yet a litle:

34 So shall pouertie come vnto thee as one that trauayleth by the way, and necessitie lyke a weaponed man.
