Proverbs 24:30-34

30 I went past the field of a sluggard,

    past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;

31 thorns had come up everywhere,

    the ground was covered with weeds,

    and the stone wall was in ruins.

32 I applied my heart to what I observed

    and learned a lesson from what I saw:

33 A little sleep, a little slumber,

    a little folding of the hands to rest—

34 and poverty will come on you like a thief

    and scarcity like an armed man.
