10. A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the arms to lie down—

11. and poverty will come on you like a prowler,destitution like a warrior.

14. Their hearts are corrupt and determined to do evil;they create controversies all the time.

15. Therefore, sudden disaster will come upon them;they will be quickly broken beyond healing.

18. a heart set on wicked plans,feet that run quickly to evil,
