Proverbs 24:30-34

30 ^aI passed by the field of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a man ^blacking sense,
31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone ^cwall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and ^dconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 ^eA little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
