Proverbs 24:30-34
30 iI passed by the field of a sluggard,by the vineyard of a man jlacking sense,
31and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone kwall was broken down.
32Then I saw and lconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 mA little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
34and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
Proverbs 26:13-16
13 nThe sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!There is a lion in the streets!”
14As a door turns on its hinges,
so does a sluggard on his bed.
15 oThe sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16The sluggard is pwiser in his own eyes
qthan seven men who can answer sensibly.
