So shall thy poverty come as a robber; And thy want as an armed man.
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; And thy want as an armed man.

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.
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
He also that is slack in his work Is brother to him that is a destroyer.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
