Proverbs 24:30-34

^{Tools
30}

I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man ^(A)lacking ^(a)sense,

^{Tools
31}

And behold, it was completely ^(B)overgrown with thistles;
Its surface was covered with ^(b)^(C)nettles,
And its stone ^(D)wall was broken down.

^{Tools
32}

When I saw, I ^(c)reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.

^{Tools
33}

“^(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”

^{Tools
34}

Then your poverty will come as ^(d)a robber
And your want like ^(e)an armed man.
