Proverbs 24:34

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

so shall your poverty come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.

a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep;

These also are proverbs of Shlomo, which the men of Chizkiyahu king of Yehudah copied out.

One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.

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

so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.
