Proverbs 24:30-34 ▼

30 I passed by near the field of a slothful man, || And near the vineyard of a man lacking heart.

31 And behold, it has gone up—all of it—thorns! Nettles have covered its face, || And its stone wall has been broken down.

32 And I see—I set my heart, || I have seen—I have received instruction,

33 A little sleep—a little slumber—A little folding of the hands to lie down.

34 And your poverty has come [as] a traveler, || And your want as an armed man!
