Proverbs 6:11

King James Version - American Edition

so shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, and thy want as an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty: open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

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

so shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth; and thy want as an armed man.

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
