Proverbs 24:30-34
World English Bible
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.
Proverbs 24:30-34

30 I passed by the field of one who was lazy,
by the vineyard of a stupid person,(A)
31 and see, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and considered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,(B)
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want, like an armed warrior.

6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
or claim a place among great men;

than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
whom your eyes have seen.
Proverbs 25:6-7

6 Do not put yourself forward in the king’s presence
or stand in the place of the great,
7 for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”
than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.
