Proverbs 24:30-34
English Standard Version
30 (A)I passed by the field of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a man (B)lacking sense,
31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone (C)wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and (D)considered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 (E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
Proverbs 25:2

13 (A)The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
There is a lion in the streets!”

so does a sluggard on his bed.
15 (B)The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is (C)wiser in his own eyes
(D)than seven men who can answer sensibly.

24 (A)Four things on earth are small,
but they are exceedingly wise:
25 (B)the ants are a people not strong,
yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 (C)the rock badgers are a people not mighty,
yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
27 the locusts have no (D)king,
yet all of them march in (E)rank;
28 the lizard you can take in your hands,
yet it is in kings' palaces.
