Proverbs 24:34

The Scriptures 1998

And your poverty shall come, a prowler, And your need like an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

Poor is he who works with a lazy hand, But the hand of the hard worker makes rich.

The being of the lazy one craves, but has not; While the being of the hard workers are enriched.

Also, he who is slack in his work Is a brother of a master destroyer.

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

These too are proverbs of Shelomoh which the men of Ḥ

He who tills his land is satisfied with bread, But he who pursues vanities is filled with poverty.

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

And your poverty shall come like a prowler, And your need as an armed man.
