Proverbs 24:30-34
30 lI passed by the field of a sluggard,by the vineyard of a man mlacking sense,
31and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone nwall was broken down.
32Then I saw and oconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 pA 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 qThe 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 rThe sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16The sluggard is swiser in his own eyes
tthan seven men who can answer sensibly.
Proverbs 27:23-27
23 uKnow well the condition of your flocks,and vgive attention to your herds,
24for wriches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 xWhen the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 ythe lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 zThere will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
