Proverbs 24:30-34

New American Standard Bible

³⁰ I passed by the field of ^[a]a lazy one,
And by the vineyard of a person ^(A)lacking ^[b]sense,
³¹ And behold, it was completely ^(B)overgrown with weeds;
Its surface was covered with ^(C)weeds,
And its stone ^(D)wall was broken down.
³² When I saw, I ^[c]reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.
³³ “^(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
³⁴ Then your poverty will come like ^[d]a drifter,
And your need like ^[e]an armed man.
