Proverbs 24:30-34
New American Standard Bible
30 I passed by the field of [a]a lazy one,
And by the vineyard of a person (A)lacking [b]sense,
31 And behold, it was completely (B)overgrown with weeds;
Its surface was covered with (C)weeds,
And its stone (D)wall was broken down.
32 When I saw, I [c]reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.
33 “(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
34 Then your poverty will come like [d]a drifter,
And your need like [e]an armed man.

30 I went by the field of the lazy man,
And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31 And there it was, (A)all overgrown with thorns;
Its surface was covered with nettles;
Its stone wall was broken down.
32 When I saw it, I considered it well;
I looked on it and received instruction:
33 (B)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest;
34 (C)So shall your poverty come like [a]a prowler,
And your need like [b]an armed man.

6 Do not boast in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the same place [a]as great people;
7 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.
