Proverbs 24:30-34

Complete Jewish Bible

³⁰ I passed by the field of the lazy man
    and the vineyard of the man lacking sense.
³¹ There it was, overgrown with thistles;
    the ground was covered with nettles,
    and its stone wall was broken down.
³² I looked, and I thought about it;
    I saw, and I learned this lesson:
³³ “I’ll just lie here a bit, rest a little longer,
    just fold my hands for a little more sleep” —
³⁴ and poverty comes marching in on you,
    scarcity hits you like an invading soldier.
