Proverbs 24:34

Word of Yahweh

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; 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.

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

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

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

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

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

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
