and the stone wall was in ruins.

a little folding of the hands to rest(B)—

and scarcity like an armed man.(C)

and its stone (C)wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and (D)considered it;
I looked and received instruction.

a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
