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 walked by the field of a lazy person,
the vineyard of one with no common sense.
31 I saw that it was overgrown with nettles.
It was covered with weeds,
and its walls were broken down.
32 Then, as I looked and thought about it,
I learned this lesson:
33 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
Proverbs 26:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 [a]A (A)lazy one says, “There is a lion on the road!
A lion is [b]in the public square!”
14 As the door turns on its hinges,
So does a (B)lazy one on his bed.
15 A (C)lazy one buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
16 A lazy one is (D)wiser in his own eyes
Than seven people who can [c]give a discreet answer.

so the lazy person turns over in bed.
15 Lazy people take food in their hand
but don’t even lift it to their mouth.
16 Lazy people consider themselves smarter
than seven wise counselors.
