Proverbs 24:34

Young's Literal Translation 1862

And thy poverty hath come `as' a traveller, And thy want as an armed man!

See the chapter Copy

Poor `is' he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.

He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he `is' to a destroyer.

A little sleep -- a little slumber -- A little folding of the hands to lie down.

Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --

Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied `with' bread, And whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled `with' poverty.

A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,

And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.
