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.

And the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then I beheld, and considered well;

A little folding of the hands to sleep;

And thy want as an armed man.
