Proverbs 24:31-34 Common English Bible (CEB)

31. Thorns grew all over it;weeds covered the ground,and the stone wall was falling down.

32. I observed this and took it to heart;I saw it and learned a lesson.

33. "A little sleep, a little slumber,a little lying down with folded arms"—

34. and poverty will come on you like a prowler,deprivation like a man with a shield.
