Proverbs 24:30-34
Legacy Standard Bible
30 I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man (A)lacking a heart of wisdom,
31 And behold, it was completely [a](B)overgrown with thistles;
[b](C)Nettles have covered its surface,
And its stone (D)wall has been torn down.
32 And I beheld, I set my heart upon it;
I saw, I received discipline.
33 “(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
34 Then your poverty will come as [c]a robber
And your want like [d]an armed man.

Proverbs 24:30-34
New American Standard Bible 1995
30 I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man (A)lacking [a]sense,
31 And behold, it was completely (B)overgrown with thistles;
Its surface was covered with [b](C)nettles,
And its stone (D)wall was broken down.
32 When I saw, I [c]reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.
33 “(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
34 Then your poverty will come as [d]a robber
And your want like [e]an armed man.
