30 I passed by the field of a lazy one, And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense,

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

32 When 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,”

34 Then your poverty will come like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.
