30 I walked past a field that belonged to a lazy man. It was a vineyard that belonged to someone who understood nothing.
31 Weeds were growing everywhere! Wild vines covered the ground, and the wall around the vineyard was broken and falling down.
32 I looked at this and thought about it. This is what I learned:
33 a little sleep, a little rest, folding your arms, and taking a nap—
34 these things will make you poor very quickly. Soon you will have nothing, as if a thief broke in and took everything away.
