Proverbs 6:11

English Standard Version 2016

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

See the chapter Copy

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.

The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.

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

for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.

Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.

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

The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.
