30 I went by the field of the sluggard,
by the vineyard of the man void of understanding:
31 Behold, it was all grown over with thorns.
Its surface was covered with nettles,
and its stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered well.
I saw, and received instruction:
33 a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep,
34 so your poverty will come as a robber
and your want as an armed man.

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.

yet make they their houses in the rocks.

yet they advance in ranks.

yet it is in kings’ palaces.

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.
