Proverbs 24:30
Compare all
28 aDo not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,
1For would you deceive with your lips? 
29 aDo not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me;
I will render to the man according to his work.” 
30 I went by the field of the lazy man,
And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31 And there it was, aall overgrown with thorns;
Its surface was covered with nettles;
Its stone wall was broken down. 
32 When I saw it, I considered it well;
I looked on it and received instruction:
33 aA little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest; 
34 aSo shall your poverty come like1 a prowler,
And your need like1 an armed man.
