Proverbs 24:30-34

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁰ I passed by the field of a sluggard,
    by the vineyard of a man without sense;
³¹ and lo, it was all overgrown with thorns;
    the ground was covered with nettles,
    and its stone wall was broken down.
³² Then I saw and considered it;
    I looked and received instruction.
³³ A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest,
³⁴ and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
    and want like an armed man.
