30 I passed by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense;

31 And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles, Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.

32 When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, and received instruction.

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

34 Then your poverty will come as a robber, And your want like an armed man.
