Proverbs 24:30-34 English Standard Version (ESV)

30. I passed by the field of a sluggard,by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,

31. and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;the ground was covered with nettles,and its stone wall was broken down.

32. Then I saw and considered it;I looked and received instruction.

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

34. and poverty will come upon you like a robber,and want like an armed man.
