Proverbs 24:30-34

New International Version - UK

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.
