29Do not say, “Thus I shall do to him as he has done to me;
         I will render to the man according to his work.”

30I passed by the field of the sluggard
         And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,

31And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles;
         Its surface was covered with nettles,
         And its stone wall was broken down.

32When I saw, I reflected upon it;
         I looked, and received instruction.

33“A little sleep, a little slumber,
         A little folding of the hands to rest,”

34Then your poverty will come as a robber
         And your want like an armed man.
