Proverbs 24:30-34

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ I went past the field of someone who didn’t want to work.
    I went past the vineyard of someone who didn’t have any sense.
³¹ Thorns had grown up everywhere.
    The ground was covered with weeds.
    The stone wall had fallen down.
³² I applied my heart to what I observed.
    I learned a lesson from what I saw.
³³ You might sleep a little or take a little nap.
    You might even fold your hands and rest.
³⁴ Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you.
    You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.
