Proverbs 24:29-34 New International Version (NIV)

29. Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did.”

30. I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;

31. thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.

32. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:

33. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

34. and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
