Proverbs
Chapters 24:31-34
New International Version Anglicized
31thorns had come up everywhere,the ground was covered with weeds,and the stone wall was in ruins.
32I applied my heart to what I observedand learned a lesson from what I saw:
33a little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to rest –
34and poverty will come on you like a thiefand scarcity like an armed man.
