Proverbs 24:34

Modern King James Version

then your poverty comes stalking, and your want like a man armed with a shield.

See the chapter Copy

He who deals with a lazy hand becomes poor; but the hand of the hard worker makes rich.

The soul of the sluggard desires and has nothing; but the soul of the hard worker shall be made fat.

so shall your poverty come as one who travels, and your need like an armed man.

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

These are also proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

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

Also he who is slack in his work is brother to a great destroyer.

He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he pursuing vanities shall have poverty enough.
