Proverbs 24:33

A Conservative Version

[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,

See the chapter Copy

And this, knowing the time, that the hour is now for us to awake out of sleep. For our salvation is now nearer than when we believed.

Therefore he says, Awake, thou who sleep. And arise from the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty. Open thine eyes, [and] thou shall be satisfied with bread.

Then I beheld, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:

so thy poverty shall come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man.

The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.

He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.

The door turns upon its hinges, so does the sluggard upon his bed.
