  1. Proverbs 10:13 Lit heart

30 I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man (A)lacking a heart of wisdom,
31 And behold, it was completely [a](B)overgrown with thistles;
[b](C)Nettles have covered its surface,
And its stone (D)wall has been torn down.
32 And I beheld, I set my heart upon it;
I saw, I received discipline.
33 (E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
34 Then your poverty will come as [c]a robber
And your want like [d]an armed man.

And by the vineyard of the man (A)lacking [a]sense,
31 And behold, it was completely (B)overgrown with thistles;
Its surface was covered with [b](C)nettles,
And its stone (D)wall was broken down.
32 When I saw, I [c]reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.

A little folding of the hands to rest,”

Do not promote your majesty in the presence of the king,
And in the place of great men do not stand;
For (A)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of a noble,
Whom your eyes have seen.

Do not claim honor in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of great men;
For (A)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.
