Proverbs 24:30-34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
30 I passed by the field of one who was lazy,
by the vineyard of a stupid person,(A)
31 and see, 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,(B)
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want, like an armed warrior.
Proverbs 24:30-34

30 I went past the field of a sluggard,(A)
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;

the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(B)—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.(C)
