Proverbs 24:30–34 (ESV): I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, 31  and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down. 32  Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction. 33  A 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.
