Proverbs 24:34

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.

See the chapter Copy

A slothful hand makes poverty, and the hand of the active will make rich.

The soul of the slothful one desiring, and nothing: and the soul of the active shall be made fat

And thy poverty came as he going, and thy want as a man of the shield.

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

Also these the proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed.

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

Also he being slothful in his work, he the brother of the master of destruction.

He working his land shall be filled with bread: and he pursuing the vain shall be filled with poverty.
