Proverbs 24:27
New Living Translation
27 Do your planning and prepare your fields
before building your house.
Proverbs 24:27
English Standard Version
27 (A)Prepare your work outside;
get everything ready for yourself in the field,
and after that build your house.
Proverbs 24:30-34
New Living Translation
30 I walked by the field of a lazy person,
the vineyard of one with no common sense.
31 I saw that it was overgrown with nettles.
It was covered with weeds,
and its walls were broken down.
32 Then, as I looked and thought about it,
I learned this lesson:
33 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
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

2 It is God’s privilege to conceal things
and the king’s privilege to discover them.

13 Trustworthy messengers refresh like snow in summer.
They revive the spirit of their employer.
Proverbs 25:13

13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
is (A)a faithful messenger to those who send him;
he refreshes the soul of his masters.
Proverbs 26:13-16
New Living Translation
13 The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion on the road!
Yes, I’m sure there’s a lion out there!”
14 As a door swings back and forth on its hinges,
so the lazy person turns over in bed.
15 Lazy people take food in their hand
but don’t even lift it to their mouth.
16 Lazy people consider themselves smarter
than seven wise counselors.
Proverbs 26:13-16
English Standard Version
13 (A)The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
There is a lion in the streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
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.

but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.

Proverbs 30:24-28
New Living Translation
24 There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise:
25 Ants—they aren’t strong,
but they store up food all summer.
26 Hyraxes[a]—they aren’t powerful,
but they make their homes among the rocks.
27 Locusts—they have no king,
but they march in formation.
28 Lizards—they are easy to catch,
but they are found even in kings’ palaces.

Proverbs 30:24-28

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.
