When will you arise from your sleep?

^la little ^mfolding of the hands to rest,
11 ⁿand poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.

by the vineyard of a man ^adlacking sense,
31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone ^aewall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and ^afconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.

a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
