Proverbs 24:30-34

Good News Translation

³⁰ I walked through the fields and vineyards of a lazy, stupid person. ³¹ They were full of thorn bushes and overgrown with weeds. The stone wall around them had fallen down. ³² I looked at this, thought about it, and learned a lesson from it: ^33 (A)Go ahead and take your nap; go ahead and sleep. Fold your hands and rest awhile, ³⁴ but while you are asleep, poverty will attack you like an armed robber.
