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.

Proverbs 24:30-34

Proverbs 24:30-34 shows the result of slothfulness. It does not matter whether the result that is being pictured happens in an economic area, an artistic area, a marital area, or a moral area. The principle that is being taught there covers it. The principle is that is the result of irresponsibility will be poverty—economic poverty, moral poverty, artistic poverty, or marital poverty. Like it or not, it is very likely the person who is in this kind of situation will feel that he has been a victim.
