and its stone qwall was broken down.
32Then I saw and rconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 sA 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.

it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16The sluggard is vwiser in his own eyes
wthan seven men who can answer sensibly.
