Proverbs 24:30-34
30 pI passed by the field of a sluggard,by the vineyard of a man qlacking sense,
31and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone rwall was broken down.
32Then I saw and sconsidered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 tA 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 uThe 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 vThe sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16The sluggard is wwiser in his own eyes
xthan seven men who can answer sensibly.
