Proverbs 24:30-34

New Catholic Bible

³⁰ I passed by the field of a lazy idler,^[b]
    by the vineyard of a man without sense.
³¹ I saw that it was completely overgrown with thorns;
    the ground was covered with weeds,
    and its stone wall was broken down.
³² And as I gazed at it and reflected,
    I drew this lesson from the sight:
³³ a little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the arms to rest,
³⁴ and poverty will come upon you like a thief,
    and want will assail you like an armed warrior.
