And by the vineyard of a person (A)lacking [b]sense,

Its surface was covered with (C)weeds,
And its stone (D)wall was broken down.

I looked, and received instruction.

A little folding of the hands to rest,”

And your need like [e]an armed man.

31 Thorns grew all over it;
    weeds covered the ground,

32 I observed this and took it to heart;
    I saw it and learned a lesson.
33 “A little sleep, a little slumber,

34     and poverty will come on you like a prowler,
    deprivation like a man with a shield.
