Then your poverty will come like a drifter, and your need will come like a bandit.
Lazy hands bring poverty, but hard-working hands bring riches.
A lazy person craves food and there is none, but the appetite of hard-working people is satisfied.
Whoever is lazy in his work is related to a vandal.
“Just a little sleep, just a little slumber, just a little nap.”
These also are Solomon’s proverbs that were copied by the men of King Hezekiah of Judah.
Whoever works his land will have plenty to eat. Whoever chases unrealistic dreams will have plenty of nothing.
Then your poverty will come ⌞to you⌟ like a drifter, and your need will come ⌞to you⌟ like a bandit.
