Proverbs 6:9-11 ▼

9 How long will you lie down, O lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep [and learn self-discipline]?

10 “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to lie down and rest”—

11 So your poverty will come like an approaching prowler who walks [slowly, but surely] And your need [will come] like an armed man [making you helpless].
