Proverbs 24:28-34 American Standard Version (ASV)

28. Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; And deceive not with thy lips.

29. Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.

30. I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

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

32. Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction:

33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;

34. So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
