30	עַל־ שְׂדֵ֣ה אִישׁ־ עָצֵ֣ל עָבַ֑רְתִּי וְעַל־ כֶּ֝֗רֶם אָדָ֥ם חֲסַר־ לֵֽב׃	I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,	I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31	וְהִנֵּ֨ה עָ֘לָ֤ה כֻלּ֨וֹ ׀ קִמְּשֹׂנִ֗ים כָּסּ֣וּ פָנָ֣יו חֲרֻלִּ֑ים וְגֶ֖דֶר אֲבָנָ֣יו נֶהֱרָֽסָה׃	and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.	thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.
32	וָֽאֶחֱזֶ֣ה אָ֭נֹכִֽי אָשִׁ֣ית לִבִּ֑י רָ֝אִ֗יתִי לָקַ֥חְתִּי מוּסָֽר׃	Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction.	I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33	מְעַ֣ט שֵׁ֭נוֹת מְעַ֣ט תְּנוּמ֑וֹת מְעַ֓ט ׀ חִבֻּ֖ק יָדַ֣יִם לִשְׁכָּֽב׃	A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,	A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
34	וּבָֽא־ מִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ רֵישֶׁ֑ךָ וּ֝מַחְסֹרֶ֗יךָ כְּאִ֣ישׁ מָגֵֽן׃ פ	and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.	and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
