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.

And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns,
The face thereof was covered with [a]nettles,
And the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then I beheld, and considered well;
I saw, and received instruction:
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep;
34 So shall thy poverty come as a robber,
And thy want as an armed man.
