Proverbs 24:34

English Standard Version 2016

and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

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

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.

Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
