30 I went by the field of the slothful, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thistles, The face thereof was covered with nettles, And the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32 Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction. 33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep'-- 34 So shall thy poverty come as a runner, And thy want as an armed man. Proverbs 24:30-34, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
