and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need, like a bandit.
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; And thy want as an armed man.
So shall your poverty come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
and poverty will come on you like a prowler, deprivation like a man with a shield.
And destitution will overtake you like a runner, and begging will overtake you like an armed man."
And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring riches.
The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.
The one who is lazy in his work is brother to a vandal. ,
a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,
These too are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of King Hezekiah of Judah copied.
The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,
and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.
