Proverbs 24:30-34

1. 30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

2. 31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

3. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

4. 33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

5. 34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
