Proverbs 24:30-34

Modern English Version

³⁰ I went by the field of the slothful,
    and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
³¹ and it was all grown over with thorns,
    and nettles covered its surface,
    and the stone wall was broken down.
³² Then I saw, and considered it;
    I looked on it and received instruction:
³³ Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to sleep,
³⁴ so your poverty will come like a stalker,
    and your need as an armed man.
