Proverbs 24:30-34

Evangelical Heritage Version

³⁰ I passed by a lazy man’s field
and by a vineyard that belonged to a senseless man.
³¹ It was overgrown with thistles
and covered with weeds.
Its stone wall was broken down.
³² When I saw this, I took it to heart.
I observed and learned a lesson:
³³ A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
³⁴ and poverty will come on you like a prowler,
and scarcity will come like a warrior.
