Proverbs 24:30-34 ▼

30 I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one with no sense;

31 It was all overgrown with thistles; its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall broken down.

32 As I gazed at it, I reflected; I saw and learned a lesson:

33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest—

34 Then poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like a brigand.
