Proverbs 24:30-34 ▼

30 I passed by the field of a lazy man, and by the vineyard of a foolish man,

31 and behold, it was entirely filled with nettles, and thorns had covered its surface, and the stonewall was destroyed.

32 When I had seen this, I laid it up in my heart, and by this example, I received discipline.

33 You will sleep a little,” I said. “You will slumber briefly. You will fold your hands a little, so as to rest.

34 And destitution will overtake you like a runner, and begging will overtake you like an armed man.”
