Proverbs 24:29-34 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

29. Do not say, “Let me do to him as he did to me; I repay each according to his work.”

30. I passed by the field of the lazy, And by the vineyard of the man lacking heart;

31. And see, it was all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; And its stone wall was broken down.

32. When I saw it, I set my heart on it; I looked and received discipline:

33. A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest;

34. And your poverty shall come, a prowler, And your need like an armed man.
