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.
