They that sleep

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep comes on men, while they take their rest on their beds;

But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:

With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy.

For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:

Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
