Proverbs 24:30-34
Christian Standard Bible
30 I went by the field of a slacker
and by the vineyard of one lacking sense.
31 Thistles had come up everywhere,
weeds covered the ground,(A)
and the stone wall was ruined.
32 I saw, and took it to heart;
I looked, and received instruction:
33 a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the arms to rest,
34 and your poverty will come like a robber,
and your need, like a bandit.(B)
Proverbs 24:30-34

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.

than to demote you in plain view of a noble.[a](A)
