Proverbs 24:30-34 New Living Translation (NLT)

30. I walked by the field of a lazy person,the vineyard of one with no common sense.

31. I saw that it was overgrown with nettles.It was covered with weeds,and its walls were broken down.

32. Then, as I looked and thought about it,I learned this lesson:

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

34. then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
