Proverbs 6:11

American Standard Version 2015

So shall thy poverty come as a robber,\par\tab And thy want as an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing;\par\tab But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

So shall thy poverty come as a robber,\par\tab And thy want as an armed man.\par

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter;\par\tab Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand;\par\tab But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty;\par\tab And drowsiness will clothe {\i a man} with rags.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;\par\tab And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Love not sleep, let thou come to poverty;\par\tab Open thine eyes, {\i and} thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

{\i Yet} a little sleep, a little slumber,\par\tab A little folding of the hands to sleep;

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
