Proverbs 24:34

American King James Version (1999)

So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

He becomes poor that deals with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man.
