30 I went by the field of a sluggard, and by the vineyard of a man void of understanding;

31 and lo, it was all grown over with thistles, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and its stone wall was broken down.

32 Then I looked, I took it to heart; I saw, I received instruction:

33 -- A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest!

34 So shall thy poverty come [as] a roving plunderer, and thy penury as an armed man.
