Proverbs 20:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹²The Lord has made two things.
He has made ears that hear.
He has also made eyes that see.

¹³Don’t love sleep, or you will become poor.
Stay awake, and you will have more food than you need.

¹⁴“It’s no good. It’s no good!” says a buyer.
Then off they go and brag about what they bought.

Proverbs 20:12-14

¹²Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the Lord has made them both.^(A)

¹³Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;^(B)
stay awake and you will have food to spare.

¹⁴“It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—
then goes off and boasts about the purchase.
